Test evidence retrieval, long-session consistency, tool boundaries, and cost before letting a model influence production changes.
Account for context limits, retries, latency, and the work behind a useful result.
Follow evidence through technical failure and incident response, then test whether the proposed correction changes the mechanism.
Use a curated notebook to compare runbooks and incident evidence, while keeping citations, freshness, and operational authority in view.
Read validated architectures as a starting point for workload, recovery, and support testing, not a promise of automatic reliability.
Counters, gauges, and distributions answer different questions. Build metrics that preserve scope, denominators, and the evidence behind an incident.
Define coverage, escalation, training, and recovery time before assigning the calendar. Review workload as well as shift counts.
Give teams clear service ownership, decision authority, and capacity to act on reliability evidence before the next incident.
Understand spans, parent-child relationships, retries, and missing evidence so traces support a careful diagnosis.
Use the free SRE books as references for a concrete service problem, then adapt and test the practices against your own constraints.
The stable Kubernetes attributes processor helps connect AI-agent traces to their workloads. Check the metadata joins before upgrading.
Define the action, contain its scope, and verify what changed at the destination.
