What is the Cross-Functional Site Reliability Engineering course about?
As programs scale across functions, traditional SRE practices fall short. Siloed tooling, inconsistent incident response, and misaligned incentives lead to outages that impact revenue, reputation, and team morale. Without a unified approach, organizations struggle to maintain velocity while ensuring system resilience.
