Srinivasan Ramanujam, Vice President, Standard Chartered Bank

This talk explores the essential mathematical foundations that underpin Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, unveiling the undiscovered Mathematical Relationships in SRE, and delving into the intricacies of maintaining robust and reliable digital services. We will unravel the core mathematical principles employed in SRE, shedding light on their significance and thereby sustaining reliability and stability.

Furthermore, the presentation will showcase the integration of cutting-edge Machine Learning (ML) techniques to enhance Service Level Objective (SLO) optimization within the realm of SRE. By leveraging ML, we aim to streamline and automate the decision-making process, enabling SRE teams to proactively manage and optimize service reliability.

Attendees will gain insights into the symbiotic relationship between mathematics and SRE, witnessing how the fusion of these disciplines, coupled with ML advancements, can revolutionize the approach to maintaining resilient and efficient digital infrastructures. Join us on a journey through the mathematical landscape of SRE, where theory meets practical application, and learn how ML is transforming the landscape of Service Level Objective optimization.

It’s a classic case of the elephant and the blind men when it comes to low code platforms and the perceived benefits of them – be it senior management, business, technology, vendor partner – everyone has their own views / perspectives / expectations of the low code platforms. The key question to ask and probably have a clear answer is, how well each one of these stakeholders understand this elephant before it becomes “The Elephant in the room”. I intend to share my own experience dealing with two most popular low code platforms, listen to my audience to hear their own experiences and expectations and try and leave them with few practical tips in taming this elephant and make the best of out it.
