Keys to SRE

Ben Treynor joined Google as Site Reliability Tsar in 2003. He is the founder of Google's Site Reliability team and grew it organically from an original core of 7 "production" engineers to its current ranks of >1200 software engineers. SRE is responsible for everything from Google's internal software infrastructure, to user services like Search, Gmail, Ads, and to the burgeoning Cloud Platform. Additionally, Ben is responsible for Google's worldwide internal and external network (since 2004), its data centers and hardware operations (since 2009), and is part of the Google Cloud Platform management team (since late 2013).

Prior to Google, Ben held engineering management roles at Seven Networks, E.piphany, and Versant Object Technology, and started his career as a software engineer at Oracle in 1986. Ben holds a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford, and an M.B.A. from U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business.

The most popular term-abbreviations “SRE” and “DevOps” continue having ripple effects on many experts’ minds evolving numerous polemics. Although site reliability engineering (SRE) was mentioned for the first time in 2003 and heavily used by gigantic IT influencers like Google, Netflix, Amazon, Dropbox, Alibaba, Meituan and Tencent, it’s often considered a brand-new, if not an unexplored approach.
