SRE Weekly - SRE Weekly Issue #300
300 issues. 6 years. Wow! I couldn’t have done it without all of you wonderful people, writing articles and reading issues. Thanks, you make curating this newsletter fun!
Articles

I know this is SRE Weekly and not Security Weekly, but this vulnerability is so big that I’m sure many of us triggered your incident response process, and some of us may have even had to take services down temporarily.
John Graham-Cumming β Cloudflare
What a colorful metaphor. This article discusses an effective technique for breaking up a monolith, one piece at a time.
Alex Yates β Octopus Deploy
This article proposes a method of eliminating the need for a central team of architects, and it strikes me as very similar to the practice of SRE itself.
Andrew Harmel-Law
More from the VOID, this piece is about the importance of analyzing “near miss” events.
Courtney Nash β Verica
If you load-test in production, don’t include your load-test traffic in your SLO calculation.
Liz Fong-Jones β Honeycomb
Outages
- AWS us-east-1 region (and half the web)
-
Between the AWS outage and log4j, it’s been a busy week. Amazon has already posted a write-up about the incident, which includes the notable tidbit that their circuit-breaker/back-off code failed.
