Have you heard about Load Shedding? If not then dive into this discussion with Acacio Cruz, Engineering Director at Google ( https://twitter.com/acaciocruz ). He walks us through what Google learnt from one of the early outages at Gmail and how he and his team are now applying concepts such as load shedding to avoid disruption of their services despite spikes of load or unpredictable requests. We also discuss SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), how it started and transformed at Google and how we should think about automation, configuration of automation, and automation of automation. For more details – including visuals – we encourage you to watch Acacio’s breakout session from devone.at on YouTube (Load Shedding at Google).https://devone.at/speakers/#acaciocruzhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNEIkivvaV4
