Redundant against what?<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Even when your system has redundancy, sometimes all the redundant copies fail at once because of what they share in common.<\/p>\n

\n
Zero Downtime Database Changes with Feature Flags<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Feature flags make it easy to roll out database schema migrations without downtime. This example uses double-writing and a data migration script.<\/p>\n

Incident Management Guide<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Like some kind of Netflix of SRE writing, incident.io just dropped an entire guide<\/em> on incident management, ready for bingeing. My favorite is the section on on-call compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Chris Evans \u2014 incident.io<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Known Unknowns \u2014Webb Struck by Meteoroid!<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

A major part of SRE is deciding what level of reliability makes sense, and how prepared you should be. This article drives that point home with an analogy to the James Webb Space Telescope.<\/p>\n

\n
A multi-region AWS architecture for low latency edge messaging<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Ably posted this design overview of their HA real-time messaging system, with lots of juicy details.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Jo Stichbury \u2014 Ably<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Going On Call for the First Time<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

An advice columnist helps a newbie on-caller ease into the pager life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Liz Fong-Jones \u2014 Honeycomb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Retrospective Template (What They Are & How To Use One)<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I like that this article advocates using different templates for different kinds of retrospectives with different goals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Myra Nizami \u2014 Blameless<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Five Essential Non-technical Skills for SRE Success<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Yes, we need more of this! The skills covered are: Communication, Empathy, Teamwork, Motivation, and Documentation.<\/p>\n
