To meet this demand, organizations are adopting DevOps practices , such as continuous integration and continuous delivery, and the related practice of continuous deployment, referred to collectively as CI/CD. When they check in their code, the build management system automatically creates a build and tests it.

Without SRE best practices, the observability landscape is too complex for any single organization to manage. Like any evolving discipline, it is characterized by a lack of commonly accepted practices and tools. In a talent-constrained market, the best strategy could be to develop expertise from within the organization.
