Reliability Strategy Session

Most organizations wait until production fires are burning before thinking about reliability. By then, fixing problems is 10x more expensive and disruptive.

In this 60-minute strategy session, we'll explore how to "shift left" - bringing reliability thinking into your requirements, architecture, and design phases. Drawing from my 12+ years of DevOps/SRE experience (including optimizing global Kubernetes infrastructure at Shell), I'll help you identify:

• Where reliability decisions should happen in your current development process
• Critical reliability risks in your architecture or approach that are cheaper to address now
• Quick wins you can implement immediately to improve system resilience
• The right SRE practices for your team's maturity level and constraints
• How to avoid common reliability mistakes I've seen across enterprise and startup environments

This isn't a generic best practices lecture - it's a collaborative conversation tailored to your specific technology stack, team structure, and business constraints.

Best for:

• Startups building their first production systems
• Scale-ups experiencing growing pains
• Engineering leaders wanting to mature their reliability practices
• Teams tired of firefighting who want to prevent fires instead

What to prepare before our call:

• Brief description of your system/architecture (sent 24hrs before)
• Specific reliability concerns or questions you're facing
• Willingness to challenge assumptions and think differently

What you'll get:

1. Clear action items you can implement this week
2. Strategic direction for building reliability into your process
3. Honest assessment of what matters now vs. what can wait
