\n
Infrastructure as Code is Not the Answer!<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Heresy! This article provides a counterpoint to many of the benefits of IaC. While IaC may still be the right answer, it\u2019s not a slam dunk.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Luke Shaughnessy<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The Foundational Pillars of Site Reliability Engineering<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Short but sweet, this article outlines three focus areas that the author argues should be a part of any SRE role.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Kyle Robertson<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Failure Mitigation for Microservices: An Intro to Aperture<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Way beyond just an intro to aperture, this article also covers microservice architecture failure modes, techniques used to avoid failures, and the weaknesses in those techniques.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Cong Ma and Matt Ranney \u2014 Doordash<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
How to put the plus in \u2018staff+\u2019 engineer <\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I\u2019m including this here not just for the staff+ SREs out there. Many of these skills are important for SREs to develop much earlier than the Staff level, since our role can be so collaborative.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Ryn Daniels \u2014 GitHub<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Managing Risk as an SRE<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I love that fully half of this article is about mentoring developing SREs in identifying and managing risk.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Ross Brodbeck<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
How We Define SRE Work, as a Team<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Learn how the Honeycomb SRE team has structured its work, including a fully copy of the team charter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Fred Hebert \u2014 Honeycomb<\/small>
\u00a0\u00a0Full disclosure: Honeycomb is my employer and I am a member of the SRE team described in this article.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
How to Engineer your Technical Debt Response<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

An intriguing approach: define technical debt as a risk, and manage it in much the same way that we handle reliability-related risks, with a \u201cthreat budget\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Jason Bloomberg \u2014 Intellyx<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Making peace with the imperfect nature of mental models<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Instead, because our time and attention is limited, we have to get good at identifying cues to indicate that our models have gotten stale or are incorrect. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Lorin Hochstein<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
FIFO vs. LIFO: Which Queueing Strategy Is Better for Availability and Latency?<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Using a simulation, this article comes to the conclusion that a hybrid between FIFO and LIFO is better than picking just one.<\/p>\n
