SRE Consulting
Site Reliability Engineering for high-availability systems
We provide Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) consulting for companies that operate business-critical, high-traffic systems and need predictable reliability at scale. SRE combines software engineering and operations to ensure availability, performance, and resilience — without slowing down delivery.
When SRE Consulting Is Needed
Teams typically reach out when:
SRE introduces engineering discipline to reliability.

FAQ
What's the difference between SRE and DevOps?
DevOps is a cultural and organizational approach to software delivery. SRE is a specific discipline within DevOps that applies software engineering principles to operations, focusing on reliability, SLOs, error budgets, and systematic incident management. SRE is more prescriptive and metrics-driven than general DevOps.
How do you define SLOs and error budgets?
We work with stakeholders to define Service Level Objectives (SLOs) based on user experience and business requirements. Error budgets represent the acceptable amount of unreliability. When error budgets are exhausted, we focus on reliability improvements instead of new features. This balances speed and stability.
Can SRE work with existing monitoring tools?
Yes — we integrate with existing monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, etc.) and enhance them with SRE practices: SLO-based alerting, structured incident management, and reliability-focused dashboards. We can also set up new observability stacks if needed.
How long does SRE implementation take?
A basic SRE setup with SLOs, monitoring, and incident management typically takes 4-8 weeks. A comprehensive SRE transformation with full observability, automation, and reliability engineering can take 3-6 months. We start with an assessment to define scope and priorities.
Do you provide on-call support?
We help design on-call structures, escalation policies, and incident response workflows. We can provide temporary on-call support during transitions, but our focus is on enabling your team to operate reliably long-term. We also offer ongoing SRE advisory for complex systems.
