Reliability from your customer's perspective

As Google's SRE book explains, the right reliability metrics focus on user experience, not just system uptime. Here's what actually matters to your customers and your business.

What teams usually measure vs what customers experience
❌ System-centric metrics
"Our servers were up 99.9% of the time"
✅ User-centric metrics
"Customers could complete their purchase 99.9% of the time"

A server can be "up" but still failing customer requests due to database issues, third-party API failures, or performance problems. SRE focuses on user outcomes, not just system health.

Frequently asked questions

How do you work with our team?

We embed remotely, meet weekly, and coordinate via your tools. We focus on enablement—leaving you stronger, not dependent.

Do we need to use a specific stack?

No. We've worked across AWS, GCP, Azure; Kubernetes, serverless, monoliths; and common observability stacks like Sentry and Grafana.

What's the typical timeline?

Assessments take 2 weeks. Projects range from 4–12 weeks. Fractional engagements are month‑to‑month with quarterly goals.

Can you help with compliance?

Yes. Reliability improvements may support the goals of SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other regulatory requirements.
