Well-argued post on how "big" problems in complex systems are a combination of "small" problems, which can be fixed individually. Key question, though: what keeps these fixes from combining with other "small" fixes to new "big" problems?
Looking forward to a follow-up post.
~500 words on why we ought to seek out Small Problems, rather than counting on Big Problems to find them for us #devops #sre blog.danslimmon.com/2022/02/…
Overload needs immediate attention. Learn how Glasnostic can calibrate load patterns and notify your team via a smart integration with, e.g., @pagerduty: buff.ly/3zw9hrE #SRE #IncidentResponse #PagerDuty
All apps today are "Franken-apps": complex functionality that's stitched together from various existing and new components. This is great for the business (speed!) but also creates operational complexity that must be managed.

We live in an automation-rich world and none of these automations are designed to work together.

No matter how well you plan and how much you automate—ultimately, unpredictability reigns supreme. There are a lot of “unknown unknowns,” so it's important to detect these quickly and react to them immediately. #clouddependencies #SRE #unpredictabilities

In our increasingly complex environments, manual debugging is not a feasible approach.
What's needed is real-time visibility into the complex interactions of systems and the ability to control these behaviors. #DevOps #operations

Honored to be a launch partner with the fantastic Azure GWLB team! Whether you’re already managing East/West flow or not, there is simply no better way to control North/South flows.

What are emergent behaviors and why do they need to be detected and controlled in real-time?

Nothing kills application reliability like a good dose of overload. One way of dealing with this is to build a proprietary load shedding framework like @Linkedin's Hodor. But can we do more than that?

Runtime control simplifies automation, reduces toil, and minimizes unpredictability.

We run every more pieces in ever more places. This requires a different kind of visibility and runtime control.

We may have "2-pizza" teams but, in the cloud, no app is an island. Everything is a dependency so our success depends on everything. How do you control what you don't own?
Site reliability engineering is hard enough, so don't handicap yourself with poor tooling. Make sure you have everything you need!

Have you ever gone down the root cause rabbit hole, only to discover that there was none?
Generic mitigation beats searching for and fixing "root causes" every time.

Your application might run well in pre-production, but what will happen after it gets released and "punched in the face" by countless other factors out in the cloud?
Cloud native apps are no longer stand-alone "islands". They depend on many other apps and services, which makes them difficult to operate without direct, runtime control.
