Are you doing SRE wrong? 4 questions to ask
(2 min read)
There's no right way to do SRE, but there is a wrong way. Here at Aiven we're getting SRE right, because maintaining a stable environment is crucial for an infrastructure-as-a-service provider. That's why we wanted to spread the goodness and help any straying friends find the true path again. | | Contributing to Aiven's developer documentation (3 min read)
Did you know that our developer documentation is open source? You can contribute to making it better! 🙌
If you're using our docs and spot something you think could be improved, go ahead and let us know by opening an issue. Even better, make that improvement yourself!
Read more about how we make it happen by using the docs-as-code philosophy in the recent blog by our Staff Developer Advocate Floor Drees. | | | As always, we’d like to share some highlights from our Open Source team this month: | | |
