Cost Optimization Is Now Part of the SRE Playbook

In the era of cloud-native architectures, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) has matured from a discipline focused purely on uptime to a sophisticated practice of efficient reliability. The key driver for this evolution is an undeniable truth: cloud spend has become intrinsically linked to system stability.

Integrate InvGate Asset Management With Google Cloud - Keep Control of Your Cloud Assets!

Benchmarking Diskless Topics: Part 1

We benchmarked Diskless Kafka (KIP-1150) with 1 GiB/s in, 3 GiB/s out workload across three AZs. The cluster ran on just six m8g.4xlarge machines, sitting at <30% CPU, delivering ~1.6 seconds P99 end-to-end latency - all while cutting infra spend from ≈$3.32 M a year to under $288k a year. That’s a >94% cloud cost reduction. Extending Apache Kafka does come with an explicit tax.

Turning Incidents Into Insight: The Continuous AI Operations Loop Explained

Modern systems generate enormous volumes of operational data. Yet, most incident workflows still treat every outage like a one‑off fire drill: an alert fires, responders scramble, the issue is resolved, the status page goes green—and the organization learns almost nothing from the experience. Meanwhile, the same patterns quietly repeat in code releases, logs, traces, and support tickets until they erupt into the next ‘unexpected’ incident.
