A Day in the Life of a New Relic SRE

This day in the life of a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at New Relic provides an inside look at what it takes to manage and maintain the reliability of a complex software product. The SRE, responsible for the reliability of the Mobile APM product, spends their day attending meetings, troubleshooting issues, and working on side projects. They also have to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, such as deploying new versions of Kafka, which requires careful planning and execution. The day is filled with a mix of technical work, collaboration with team members, and communication with management, highlighting the importance of versatility, careful planning, and full awareness of systems in DevOps.
