It's not that simple, my opinion. Site reliability itself is an engineering. So engineering comes with understanding what's going on. And there is no unique way of saying that this is exactly how I'm going to fix it. It's going to depend on what is the problem in that given situation. You need more ways of reproducing the faults and then you go and go to your SREs or SREs generally go and try to fix up quick recovery points. But really you need to go back to developers to really fix the root cause of it. Right?

Episode notes
In today’s episode, Gerhard is joined by Uma, CEO and co-founder of ChaosNative, as well as Karthik, CTO and also a ChaosNative co-founder. They talk Chaos Engineering and Litmus.
Chaos Engineering is not just for super SREs. It is not meant to prevent outages. And, it is not just about hardware. Chaos Engineering is about testing how reliable your systems are. It’s meant to show you how things fail, including when other dependent systems fail - think cascading failures. This is a good way to discover inconvenient truths about that beautiful code that you wrote. Everything fails, and great insights are to be found when it does.
