Daily Term: SRE

SRE

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that applies software engineering principles to operations, focusing on system reliability, scalability, and performance. SREs use automation, monitoring, and incident response to ensure systems meet service level objectives (SLOs). For example, an SRE might automate server provisioning to reduce downtime. SRE bridges development and operations, improving system resilience, but requires a cultural shift toward reliability-focused practices.
