After a three week hiatus, Slight Reliability is back. This week I share my experiences at #srecon23 in Singapore, #awssummit2023 in London, and the rest of my trip overseas.

I discuss topics such as #loadtesting in production, using fear to market #security products, #cloud cost, and others.

Shout out to Olga Mirensky whose SREcon observations I shared during the episode.

@inherentlee Oh please do check out my #SRECon23 talk when they get the videos online. The audience and I performed one of the pieces from these scores together, called The Tuning Meditation. Human Observability of Incident Response is the talk.

Hey friends! if you're interested come check out @renice @austinlparker @recursive and I sharing our Takeaways and Highlighs from #SRECon23 in Santa Clara this month on youtube.com/equinixdevelopers or twitch.tv/equinixmetal

I'm really enjoying tech conference chatter on Mastodon. It was one of my favourite things on Twitter, and it seems to have transferred really well. Maybe even better because you can follow the hashtag in your main feed.

I've enjoyed vicariously going to #QConLondon and #SRECon23 and I'm looking forward to a lot more.

"This is one of the very best narratives on complex systems analysis I have read, bar none. Incident Response is to #Engineering as #Improvisation is to Music is a brilliant perspective. Absolutely amazing work, Matt Davis!" (Josh Biggley, LinkedIn).

I am so happy that I'm able to help others in this way!! If you're curious, below are the slides from my #SREcon23 talk, "Human Observability of Incident Response".

Talk done for #SREcon23 and I couldn't be happier with how it went!

I have wanted to do Pauline Oliveros's Tuning Meditation with a large group and the room was just perfect to carry this wonderful energetic murmur of humming and singing voices, ululating tones and pitches wandering through the room... it went so perfectly that the description I gave of our Joint Activity fit great. Bravo to the audience participants who jumped right in and made this so cool!

I was blown away by the talk @hazelweakly and @esk gave at. It's inspiring how a group of volunteers can organize together and improve reliability while undergoing massive exponential growth. So many great lessons learned. #srecon #srecon23

Who better than White Mage @renice to give a talk about the social technical challenges of learning from incidents? Thank you Amy for amplifying the voice to all the glue people in an engaging and entertaining way!

The boarding time of my flight is now 30 minutes delayed, yay 🫠

(Btw I'm going to be posing quite a bit over the next several days. I'll experiment with a combination of tags and/or CWs so you can filter me out if I get too spammy)

#srecon #srecon23

I'm going to Santa Clara tomorrow! I'll be there through Wednesday night!

I'm presenting at #srecon too! I'm so stoked.

I'll be presenting "Hacking the Pachyderm: Scaling Servers and People" with @esk on how @nova, @Taniwha, @dma, @malte, @quintessence, and I migrated hachyderm to Europe through a massive system failure without burning out our people or our community ❤️

It's gonna be so fun to see some of y'all for the first time!
