Transforming Production Readiness

Thursday, 31 October, 2024 - 14:5015:30 GMT

Panagiotis Moustafellos, Elastic

Abstract: 

In this talk, we’ll share lessons learned from integrating development teams into on-call rotations at Elastic, along with insights into the design and operation of an SLO observability product that monitors hundreds of thousands of SLIs globally. We’ll cover best practices for production readiness, phased product launches, and approaching significant software and infrastructure re-architecture.

Moreover, we will go through actionable strategies for navigating the delicate process of getting all engineers on-call, improving incident management, promoting safer software releases, and the use of observability tools, empowering teams to fully own their services.

Attendees will gain practical insights to enhance production readiness and service reliability within their organization.
