We'll explore how vibe coding impacts SRE teams. Attendees will learn how this shift affects reliability and incident response and the challenges it introduces, such as reduced familiarity with codebases among developers and the loss of subject matter expertise. We'll discuss why 'incident vibing' - leveraging automation and AI-driven features to tackle increased incident volume - is crucial. The audience will learn practical strategies for: - Accelerating incident response using AI-generated incident briefings and automated post-mortem drafts. - Streamlining root cause analysis and resolution through AI-powered anomaly detection and contextual data ingestion. - Mitigating the limitations of AI systems, such as hallucinations and a lack of context. Ultimately, this talk is about turning a risk into a competitive advantage. Not only empowering SRE teams to handle the growing challenges of AI-driven development, but also graduate to achieving the elusive 'six nines' of reliability.

Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy...sound like your first on-call shift? One of the biggest challenges in incident response work, especially for newer SREs, is the lack of safe spaces to fail. Incident simulations can be an effective way to take the terror out of that first on-call shift, but they take careful planning. In this talk, I’ll explore different types of simulations (from tabletops to full-on realistic mock incidents), how and when to utilize them, and how to make sure you get the most out of them.
