By now, most of us have read the O’Reilly book about Google SREs or have heard of other tech companies’ SRE tales. But what about doing SRE in a more traditional and more regulated environment? Janna Brummel and Robin van Zijll explain how they implemented SRE in a global financial organization, providing an overview of methods and technologies and sharing lessons learned from a year of doing SRE. Janna and Robin discuss their company’s SRE journey (started last year), covering why the organization wanted and needed to do SRE, how the SRE process started, the distributed way of working of SRE within the organization, what technologies the SREs actually work with and why, and plans for the future. They also outline some SRE dos and dont’s drawn from their experience.
