What is site reliability engineering?

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that combines aspects of software engineering and IT operations to build and run scalable, reliable, and efficient systems. SRE teams are responsible for ensuring the availability, performance, and reliability of critical services by automating manual processes, monitoring systems, and responding to incidents. They often work closely with development teams to improve system architecture, deploy new features safely, and maintain service-level objectives (SLOs). Overall, SRE aims to create a bridge between development and operations to deliver robust and reliable software services.
