Site Reliability Engineering

Purpose

This skill manages site reliability engineering tasks, covering SLO/SLA management, incident response, observability, and infrastructure scaling to ensure highly available systems.

Core Principles

1. Embrace Risk: Balance reliability with feature velocity using error budgets.
2. Service Level Objectives: Define measurable reliability targets.
3. Eliminate Toil: Automate repetitive, non-creative operational tasks.
4. Monitoring: Base alerting on symptoms rather than causes.
5. Blameless Postmortems: Focus on systemic improvements rather than human error.
