Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) – Are we still talking about Testing?
Faster time to market is extremely important for businesses now. However, it’s not just the to market or the quality of the product that is in question.
The points to ponder include:
1. Availability
2. Performance
3. Latency
4. Monitoring
5. Disaster recovery and Emergency Response
6. Change Management
7. Capacity planning
8. Efficiency
While all of these are key elements of engineering tied to development and operations, close observation tells you that there is a lot of testing involved in all of this. What makes it even more interesting is with more and more businesses moving away from monolithic architecture to a more microservices architecture model site reliability is transforming to service relieability which means that testing has a much bigger role to play.
The key takeaways of this talk look at the aspects of testing relevant to SRE.
