SREcon24 Europe/Middle East/Africa - Sailing the Database Seas: Applying SRE Principles at Scale

Sailing the Database Seas: Applying SRE Principles at Scale
Ioannis Androulidakis and Martin Alderete, Booking.com
In this talk we will demonstrate how we apply core SRE principles in the field of Database Engineering. More specifically, we will talk about the challenges of operating large-scale database systems in multiple cloud environments and how adopting best SRE practices dramatically improved our daily workflows and operations.
We will share insights and concrete use cases around the following topics: Monitoring Distributed Systems, Eliminating Toil and Postmortem Culture.
This talk will equip attendees with ideas and guidelines to better understand and efficiently operate their database systems such as choosing the right SLIs and SLOs, automating capacity planning and embracing a postmortem culture after outages.
