Introduction

Thought I would quickly go over the key principles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and why they matter. Even though these days I am not working in the title, I wanted to address the theory side of things and how this shapes my actions as a Platform Engineer.

My previous role, I was an SRE Architect. And for full transparency, the reason I left was because of economic concerns. The time I was there, the sales pipeline seemed to have dried up, and I was not sure if I wanted to weather the storm in a consulting company that often let people go for being on the bench too long. NetDocuments has been a great change to that uncertainty, and I am indeed, happy to be here.
