Got a question around SRE Consulting?
You should consider adopting Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) culture once you reach a level of complexity and scale where traditional operations and development practices struggle to maintain reliability. If there are frequent outages, performance issues, or manual processes slowing down system management, SRE becomes valuable. Growing startups or companies undergoing significant changes can benefit from SRE’s structured approach to managing challenges.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps share common goals of improving collaboration between development and operations teams and enhancing the reliability of systems. Still, they differ in their focus and implementation. SRE is more narrowly focused on ensuring the reliability of services through the application of engineering principles, automation, and the use of Service Level Objectives (SLOs). DevOps, on the other hand, is a broader cultural and organizational philosophy that emphasizes collaboration, automation, and continuous delivery across the entire software development lifecycle. While there are overlaps, SRE is often seen as a part of DevOps, focusing specifically on reliability and service excellence.
When choosing an SRE partner, proof of the team’s expertise & experience with various cloud native technologies is essential. InfraCloud is a Kubernetes Certified Service Partner (KCSP), CNCF silver member, and is an officially recognized partner with many cloud native projects, including Linkerd, Istio, Argo CD, and Prometheus. Besides, we are constantly contributing to open source projects to enhance their capabilities. Our team members are proficient in various tools and processes and can easily ensure your application performance.
The error budget depends on the application and infrastructure involved. Our team will access everything, and from there, we can come to a mutual understanding to determine the error budget.
Once you schedule a meeting with our SRE consulting experts, our team will chat with you to gain a deeper understanding of your project, specific requirements, and goals. From there, we can arrange an appropriate model of engagement:
- -> Consulting: Skilled SRE experts whom you can trust, give you advice and a roadmap.
- -> Team Extension: Bring our experienced service mesh specialists to work as a part of your team.
- -> Training: Help you build self-sufficient teams by training them on SRE best practices.
Once the SoW is agreed upon, our team will kick off the project and keep you updated through a dedicated channel & regular sync-ups for communication and support.
We unleash growth by helping companies adopt cloud native technologies with our products and services!
