Brian Singer co-founded Orbitera, which was acquired by Google in 2016. During that process he met Kit Merker, who was a PM on GKE and the GCP Marketplace, and the two are now working togther on relability engineering startup Nobl9. We talk about migrating Orbitera to GKE and Google’s SRE platform, and how many 9s are too many.
