Scouting report

Was a Google SRE for over a decade, then principal developer advocate at Honeycomb, pushing OpenTelemetry and publishing a great deal on SLOs and reliability practice that teams actually adopt. Also one of the more visible organisers in the tech worker movement, which cost her something and which she has been candid about.

Curator’s note

Publishes the reliability practice most companies keep as tribal knowledge.
