Address Tech Debt with Site Reliability Engineering
Address Tech Debt with Site Reliability Engineering
Hear how technical leaders are using SRE to address technical debt

Code is sometimes written in a hurry, especially in the startup world. Companies often prioritize new features over refactoring or fixing less than high quality code. Once a product needs to scale, organizations need to find the right balance of refactoring and feature development. As a developer, I want to be able to prioritize time to address technical debt before it causes major problems.

The process of developing service level objectives can set the groundwork for a deeper understanding of your applications performance needs and allow collaborative decision-making in budget and schedule priority. Our panel discussion today will cover major architectural trade-offs related to service level performance, observability and metrics strategies, and key cultural practices for success.

This event is ideal for

  • Start-up Teams, Founders & Entrepreneurs thinking about scaling their application
  • Engineering leads interested in adopting SRE practices
  • Developers looking to prioritize addressing tech debt in their organization
