Making the case for SRE in a DevOps organization with Bart Enkelaar

How do you convince an organization that just went through a 2 year DevOps transformation to continue the journey by applying SRE practices? What is SRE anyway? What are good SLOs? And how do you get development teams to take responsibility for their code in production?Bart Enkelaar, Lead Site Reliability Engineer at bol.com, not only got their organization to apply SRE practices, define good SLOs and got dev teams to rotate on-call duties. He also followed the advice of Margaret, Chief Platform Officer, to bring his personal passion to the job. This led to inspiring and educating the community about SRE and SLO through music.

Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.

Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
