Site reliability engineering (SRE) is the practice of applying software engineering principles to operations and infrastructure processes to help organizations create highly reliable and scalable software systems. Shift-left using an SRE approach means that reliability is baked into each process, app and code change.

Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. They are particularly important in distributed systems, such as microservices architectures. A platform approach, on the other hand, presents a more effective option for understanding observability as a whole.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. Its goal is to assign running processes to time slices of the CPU in a “fair” way. So why mess with it?
