The real cost of a blameful culture
In the fast-paced world of IT operations, the culture permeating an organization is critical to its success. It drives behavior, efficiency, and organizational accomplishment. A blame-centric culture is particularly detrimental, creating an environment where finger-pointing is more important than problem-solving and fear reduces innovation. This negative culture damages individual morale and erodes the organization's collective resilience.

Datadog on Site Reliability Engineering #shorts #datadog #observability
There are many different ways to implement Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). From team structures to roles and responsibilities to planning and prioritization flows, there’s no golden path for how to organize things. As Datadog has shifted from a startup to a quickly-growing public company, we’ve seen our own SRE practice evolve. With over 22,000 customers sending trillions of data points each day, keeping Datadog reliable is critical to our business.
An SRE's Most Important Skill? Communication
I wish someone had told me that I shouldn’t hop between frameworks. Just like learning four programming languages in your first year, in my experience spending time content switching as a beginner is wasted effort. If I’d spent a solid year learning how to deploy services on AWS, then when it was time to learn Azure, I’d see more similarities than differences and find it a lot easier to pick up a second public cloud.
How Incidents Foster Leadership
To become battle-tested, you need to go through battles, not just read books or mentor newcomers. Both are helpful but the stakes are low. On the other hand, high stake jobs, such as running a big project or managing a team, are hard to get when you lack experience. So how can we solve this dilemma? Enter incident response.
