As the new year approaches, we at Blameless like to ponder the future of Reliability Engineering. For 2021, we predicted that the practice of site reliability engineering (SRE) would continue to grow in terms of adoption, we would see adoption increase faster among smaller organizations, and SRE practices would get more attention to drive adoption compared to hiring. We’re sure you’ll agree that these trends have indeed strengthened in the last year.

Wondering about Incident Management Software? We explain the best incident management software tools and how they work.

Wondering about CloudOps? We explain what CloudOps is, how it relates to DevOps, and how teams can use CloudOps to best manage cloud-native development.

In SRE, we believe that some failure is inevitable. Complex systems receiving updates will eventually experience incidents that you can’t anticipate. What you can do is be ready to mitigate the damage of these incidents as much as possible. One facet of disaster readiness is incident response - setting up procedures to solve the incident and restore service as quickly as possible. Another strategy involves reducing the chances for failure with tactics like reducing single points of failure.

If you are optimizing your current DevOps processes, we can help. We’ll explain the 7 key principles of DevOps and how to put them into practice.

Wondering about DevOps Metrics? We explain what metrics matter in DevOps, why they are important, and how to measure them.

Curious about DevOps Workflow? We explain the DevOps process, how automation relates to workflow, and best practices for workflow design DevOps is a methodology that involves Development and Operations working together during the development process. Workflow is the sequence in which tasks occur. DevOps workflow relies heavily on automation and involves: Using DevOps, teams can increase collaboration and improve processes to create more stable and manageable processes.
