Shifting observability left: How to get Frontend Engineers to build monitoring checks
2024-12-12 · 23:00
Daniel Paulus
– VP of Engineering
@ Checkly
This talk is about using synthetic monitoring to reduce MTTD&MTTR significantly and achieve high devops maturity. Daniel is a big believer in synthetic monitoring as a concept to build reliable production services. If engineers are supposed to run what they build, they need monitoring tools that work for them. He has built his own custom solutions in the past using Jenkins or GH Actions and later used SaaS tools for this. He would like to share his experience getting frontend engineers to build monitoring and get everyone on an engineering team to care about production system reliability. Daniel Paulus has taken a unique journey from military officer to tech leader, and he’s now the VP of Engineering at Checkly. Along the way, he’s worn many hats— from engineering lead to director —learning how to build strong teams and solve tough challenges. Outside of work, Daniel lives near Berlin with his family and four kids, while also finding time to maintain an open-source project. Whether it’s scaling teams or debugging code, he’s passionate about technology and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. |

9 SLIs ... OH MY!
2024-12-12 · 23:00
Sal Furino
– Customer Reliability Engineer (CRE)
@ Bloomberg
After years of working and coaching teams to implement SLOs, it’s becoming incredibly clear to me that the greatest challenge that engineering and product teams face is finding the right SLIs. SLOs are hard to get right, and it generally takes time and multiple iterations to tweak, tune, and adjust them so they’re providing value to inform when we need to take action to defend the reliability of our systems. However there is an underlying assumption that the SLI itself is/has been providing value. As hard as SLOs are to get right, thinking of a good SLI is also difficult. This especially complicates things for engineering teams that don’t have a product person. As a result, they often struggle to identify what are key user / customer journeys. This talk will attempt to provide attendees with additional guidance to help them think more clearly about and create better SLIs. We’ll break SLIs up into three (3) categories – Customer / User Experience, Supporting Services, and Management/Reputation. For each of these categories, I’ll discuss three relevant SLIs of each (e.g., application metrics, network metrics, Public Sentiment, etc.), some best practices, common pitfalls, and how the signal for each of the nine (9) metrics can be developed further to become more mature over time. Sal Furino is a Customer Reliability Engineer at Bloomberg. During his career he’s worked as a TPM, SRE, Developer, Sys Admin, and IT support. While not working he enjoys cooking, gaming, and traveling. Sal lives in Queens and has a BS in Applied Mathematics from Marist College. |

A Safer Future with STPA
2024-12-12 · 23:00
Theo Klein
– Senior Site Reliability Engineer
@ Google Maps
Want to prevent outages before they happen? Traditional SRE methods focus on component failures, but a whole class of outages stem from unexpected system interactions. We found a solution. In our team, we use Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to identify and fix system-level vulnerabilities before they cause outages. By applying STPA during the design phase, we've prevented major incidents and saved countless engineering hours. This talk will show you how STPA can transform your approach to reliability. We'll share a real-world example where STPA caught critical design flaws that traditional methods missed, saving us months of costly rework. Don't wait for outages to happen. Learn how STPA can help you build more resilient systems and become a 1000x engineer. Theo is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer for Google Maps. He is leading a program to improve road closure data safety. Previously, he led a program identifying risky dependencies within Google Maps. In his spare time, he hosts supper clubs. |

Monitoring with events with Grafana and AWS
2024-10-22 · 19:35
Daniel Paulus
– VP of Engineering
@ Checkly
In the world of observability, metrics and logs are the usual suspects for monitoring system health and diagnosing issues. But what happens when you don't know what to look for in advance? We tackle this challenge by incorporating business-critical events into our observability stack. Join me for this talk as I delve into how events can fill the gaps left by traditional metrics and logs. I'll share our journey in identifying which events are worth storing and how our technical setup evolved from periodic PostgreSQL pulls to real-time streaming with AWS Firehose. You'll see real-world examples through our Grafana dashboards and learn how this approach allows us to perform ad-hoc analyses spanning over two years without incurring huge costs. |

In this talk we’ll use a serverless application that uses various AWS resources. We'll explore how Amazon DevOps Guru recognizes operational issues and anomalies, such as increased latency and error rates. We will also explore DevOps Guru "Proactive Insights" which recognizes configurational anti-patterns, such as missing failure destination on Kinesis Data Streams or DLQ on SQS or over-provisioning of AWS services like DynamoDB tables. |
