RSS FeedBuild a world-class incident management process. Learn frameworks for detection, response, communication, and learning from incidents to build more reliable systems.
Track system availability and uptime percentage. Essential for SLAs, reliability, and customer trust.
Measure how quickly your team restores service after an incident. A key DORA metric that indicates your organization's resilience.
Track the percentage of failed requests. Critical for reliability, user experience, and incident detection.
Track the percentage of deployments that result in failures, rollbacks, or hotfixes. Essential for balancing speed with stability.
A battle-tested framework for handling production incidents—from the first alert to the blameless post-mortem. Includes severity classification, escalation playbooks, communication templates, and lessons from real outages.
The week’s pattern: “trust” moved from a policy slide to a production requirement
The last 48 hours show a clear pivot: AI adoption is moving from experimentation to operationalization under constraints—workforce disruption, reliability/uncertainty management, and...
It's 2:14 PM on a Tuesday. Error rates just spiked from 0.2% to 34%. Three enterprise customers are on the phone with your CEO. You have 60 seconds before someone expects an answer.
Engineering orgs are turning previously “back-office” concerns—artifact storage, configuration, and data locality—into governed control planes with policy, auditability, and resilience as first-class...
AI delivery is becoming an engineering discipline with simulation-based testing and continuous evaluation, while performance and security constraints are pushing teams down-stack (kernel/CPU and...
Engineering orgs are moving from “collect more telemetry” to “prove your observability works under AI-era conditions,” pairing unified observability stacks with benchmarking and LLM-aware...
AI is rapidly shifting from conversational assistants to agentic systems that execute tasks (browsing, coding, security research), pushing companies to redesign workflows, service models, and...
AI is moving from "app layer innovation" to "end-to-end operational constraint," where power availability, runtime isolation (Wasm), and autonomous optimization (agents/RL) become first-class archi...
Engineering organizations are moving from generic "scale out" tactics to explicit latency budgets and priority-aware load control, treating performance as a product feature and resilience as a policy problem, not just an engineering concern.
Most CTOs I meet can describe their calendar, but not their job. That's not a knock-it's just what happens when the role is a moving target.
Most CTOs don't have a postmortem problem. They have a behavior change problem. The doc gets written, the meeting happens, everyone agrees it was a great discussion, and then the same class of incident shows up again 6-10 weeks later.
Most CTOs I talk to aren't worried about whether AI "works." They're worried about what happens when it works just enough to get embedded into core workflows—support, underwriting, sales ops, security...
