Our fourth annual SRE Report launched last week. I had the good fortune to be involved in writing and editing it this year for the first time alongside our very own driving force Leo Vasiliou and the brilliant Eveline Oehrlich at DevOps Institute (check out Eveline’s take on the report’s Key Takeaways here), in addition to a number of folks at VMware Tanzu.
This year’s SRE from Anywhere (SREFA) brought together hundreds of registrants from around the world to gather virtually, share experiences, and network around all things SRE. We were thrilled to see so many friendly faces!
Over the last year, when talking to large enterprises about employee experience management, one question has come up consistently, “How do I decide the right internet connection to ensure employees can get work done seamlessly?” Although we are well into the “work from anywhere” world, employee experience management is still something that companies are struggling with. Most employees continue to work remotely and are often moving to new places.
Modern applications enable enterprises to scale faster with better efficiency and resilience. The main advantage of a multi-cloud/hybrid cloud infrastructure is in its highly distributed architecture that offers proximity – bringing end users closer to the service provider.
Ensuring a productive remote workspace was one of the main priorities of many enterprises and organization in 2020.

Healthcare organizations had to quickly update infrastructure and software to support the shift without compromising productivity.

Through its enterprise platform for dynamic work, the platform aligns people and technology to help businesses move faster, drive innovation, and achieve more.
On June 8, 2021, many of us were left staring at blank screens or “Service Unavailable” errors when trying to access the internet. The panic was shared by millions of people around the world. Everything from Spotify, Amazon, and Reddit to Vimeo, Twitch, and Pinterest was inaccessible to users. This major outage that impacted any service using Fastly. Here is a quick rundown of what happened and why.
At Catchpoint, our mission is to provide customers with actionable data that will help them reduce MTTR and maintain a positive digital experience. We measure "from where the users are" to ensure the data reflects real end-user experience. As someone that's part of the Catchpoint on-call chain, this is extremely important to me. I do not want to be woken up at 2 AM because a server is misbehaving, only to find out that the application failed over gracefully and no users were impacted.
