In the relentless pursuit of uptime, who do you turn to for inspiration? The titans of tech who operate at a planetary scale. While Google pioneered Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Netflix mastered proactive resilience with Chaos Engineering, and Meta championed hyper-automation, their principles aren't just for the giants.

In this episode, we go beyond the buzzwords and dive deep into the practical, actionable lessons every engineering manager, SRE, and DevOps leader can learn from them. We'll dissect their core philosophies—from error budgets and blameless postmortems to chaos monkeys and self-healing infrastructure.

Forget blindly copying their org charts. Join us as we build a pragmatic playbook for synthesizing the best of these approaches to foster a powerful culture of reliability in your own organization. We’ll discuss how to start a "toil hunt," run your first "game day," and use SLOs to transform the conversation between development and operations.
