Site reliability engineering must optimize for cost, performance and stability, but it must do so without affecting other critical aspects of engineering such as velocity or developer experience and developer happiness.

In this talk we'll walk through the fundamentals for how to build your SRE strategy––particularly as a first or early hire that needs to build the strategy from the ground up.

We'll walk through how to build your SLA, SLO, and SLI strategy to ensure you are constantly focused on business goals, without eating into error budgets and keeping clients happy. As well as how to deliver the performance, cost and stability optimizations required for modern businesses to thrive through proper KPI management.
