At the time of writing this post, I have officially been at Honeycomb for one year as a site reliability engineer (SRE). The charter (aka what site reliability engineers should care about). Take a long-term, holistic view of the system. Think of: Well, this one is pretty natural to the software world.

I’ve got a ton of personal reasons for joining Honeycomb that may not be worth being all public about, but after thinking for a while, I realized that many of the things I personally found interesting could point towards attitudes that result in better software elsewhere. Someone who can work in both software engineering and automation.

Is it any surprise that studies are showing 83% of software developers are feeling burnout? Observability provides the ability to see inside your complex and distributed systems to know exactly what’s happening in real time. That was certainly the case at Slack where releases were delayed due to a high rate (50%) of flaky tests.

What’s your name, how long have you been here, and what do you do, as an engineer? This time, we asked! Let’s get to know them! Let’s get to know them!

The official definition of DevOps is “a software engineering culture and practice, that aims at unifying software development and software operation.” The concept of Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) has been around since 2003, making it even older than DevOps.

Data Engineers were tempted by the pressure of the moment to give up on testing all together. Nevertheless, Data Engineers started to suffer from repetitive work, having to wait for the data to be loaded, or for the output to be validated. In many cases, these tasks ended up on the shoulders of the Data Engineers themselves.

The SRE team is now four engineers and a manager. But looking at the responsibilities we were taking around vendor negotiations, voluntarily cross-pollinating silos and impacting engineering teams roadmaps in anticipation of scaling needs, we decided to rework that whole category into a broader “system-level” perspective.

Any significant shift in an organization’s software engineering culture has the potential to feel tectonic, and observability (o11y for short)—or more specifically, Observability Driven Development —is no different. This is why we highly encourage all teams to instrument their code to emit telemetry data. .
