Site Reliability Engineering

Use engineering practices to improve service reliability

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) uses service objectives, operational evidence and learning from incidents to focus reliability work where it is needed.

Reliability as an engineering decision

Reliability work starts with a service that users and operators can identify. Explicit objectives and operational evidence can show where failure has the greatest effect and whether the team should invest in prevention, detection or response. SRE practices are useful in that context, rather than as a label applied to every operational activity.

Applying selected SRE practices

SRE is related to CodeAttest capabilities in observability, application performance, automation and capacity planning. The scope may involve selected reliability practices rather than a complete SRE operating model.

An objective helps only if it reflects a service that users and operators recognize. Incident learning, monitoring and capacity work can then be compared with that objective to decide where engineering effort is justified. CodeAttest applies the relevant practices to the service and team in scope rather than assuming that adopting the SRE label requires a complete organizational redesign.
