Steve McGhee (@stevemcghee) is an expert in post mortems and SRE. He has learned the craft at Google, applied it at MindBody and is now sharing his experiences while back at Google to the larger SRE community. Listen to this episode and learn more about how post mortem analysis can be the starting point of your SRE transformation. How it can help reliability engineering to build and engineer systems that fail gracefully instead of causing full crashes or outages.
Steve also went into monitor what matters and only defining alerts on leading indicators with an expiration date – a fascinating concept to avoid a flood of custom alerting in production!
