About

I'm an SRE and so can you! This blog translates SRE principles into practical, concrete advice. SRE books outline the high level princples of SRE, but often folks still struggle when implementing alerts, production reviews, SLOs, error budgets, etc. I'll help you supercharge your SRE skills, just as if you were a member of my SRE team!
