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.

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.

Why and how to use site reliability golden signals
Software complexity makes it harder for teams to rapidly identify and resolve issues. IT service management has evolved from an afterthought to a central part of DevOps. Microservices architectures are prone to delay or missed identification of such concerns. Monitoring mechanisms need to keep up with these complex infrastructures. Maintaining reliability and performance while harnessing this complexity requires a considered, data-driven approach.
