Piers Chamberlain and Catherine Matheson, Trade Me
Introducing SRE practices within a mature online business is not for the fainthearted. Google lays out several possible approaches to SRE transformation but promoting the central ideas to our engineering colleagues was not really what we'd expected to spend so much time on.
We will talk about the first year of SRE for our organisation, being frank about the reality of our position today given the Initial Roadmap set out and how plans changed along the way.
