An engineering discipline applying software engineering practices to infrastructure and operations problems.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software engineering and systems administration to build highly scalable, self-healing, and fault-tolerant infrastructure, utilizing automated monitoring, Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and error budgets.
Governs Kubernetes cluster scaling, Strimzi Kafka health, GoQuorum node peering, automated failovers, and synthetic load testing.
Enforces platform availability target of 99.95%, p99 latency < 50ms, and zero consumer lag across primary transport event topics.
SRE defines operational excellence; it cannot compensate for fundamentally unsound business logic in application code.
