For the fifth episode of the StackPod, we invited Bart Enkelaar. Bart is a lead SRE at the largest online retailing platform in the Netherlands and Belgium: bol.com. He's been a backend engineer for 13 years and is now responsible for setting up site reliability engineering across more than a hundred DevOps teams.

In this episode, Bart and Anthony talk about:

• Why Bart and his team decided to set up Google's SRE framework within their organization
• How easy it was to put Google's theory - which can be seen as nirvana - into practice
• How bringing about that culture change was especially challenging and how Bart and his team are continuously improving that
• Why music and SRE is a great (but unexpected) combination

About StackState:
StackState’s observability platform is built for the fast-changing container-based world. It is built on top of a one-of-a-kind “time-traveling topology” capability that tracks all dependencies, component lifecycles, and configuration changes in your environments over time. Our powerful 4T data model connects Topology with Telemetry and Traces across Time. If something happens, you can "rewind the movie” of your environment to see exactly what changed in your stack and what effects it has on downstream components.
