Program Overview

What This Program Covers

Site Reliability Engineering brings software engineering discipline to operations — and in 2026, every developer benefits from SRE thinking. This program teaches developers the core SRE principles and practices used at the world's most reliable engineering organizations — from SLO design to error budget management to on-call excellence.

What You'll Learn

  1. 1Define and implement meaningful SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets
  2. 2Build alerting systems that page on symptoms not causes
  3. 3Apply toil reduction principles to eliminate manual operational work
  4. 4Design runbooks and playbooks that actually work under pressure
  5. 5Conduct blameless post-mortems that drive real improvement
  6. 6Implement chaos engineering practices to build confidence in system resilience
  7. 7Build an SRE culture on your team
