Métier en 2026 et 2027
A site reliability engineer applies software engineering to operations, using service level targets, error budgets and automation to keep systems reliable while teams keep shipping. The role grows from measuring and responding to designing how reliability is organized and funded.
Contenu revu le 20 octobre 2026
Mid-level
Runs a service's reliability day to day: sets targets, spends the error budget, responds to incidents and plans for growth.
You own SLOs for a service, take on-call and act as incident commander on smaller events. You also test capacity and automate infrastructure and delivery. Compared with junior, you decide what to measure and act on the numbers instead of only collecting them.

Parcours d'étude de ce niveau : Site Reliability Engineering
SLIs, SLOs & SLAs
Pourquoi : You set a realistic SLO from real user data and agree it with the product owner, so the target reflects what users tolerate and not an arbitrary number of nines.
Error Budgets
Pourquoi : You track budget burn and apply the policy, so when the budget runs out the team pauses risky releases instead of arguing about whether to continue.
Metrics Collection
Pourquoi : You control cardinality and naming across services, so a dashboard query stays fast and an alert can be trusted during a real incident.
Logging & Aggregation
Pourquoi : You derive metrics from logs and set retention with compliance in mind, so you can alert on an error pattern while keeping storage cost and legal limits in check.
Incident Response
Pourquoi : You classify severity, assign roles and mitigate before diagnosing fully, so a customer-facing outage is contained in minutes rather than debated by ten people.
Incident Communication
Pourquoi : You update the status page and stakeholders with clear impact and next update times, so customers and executives are informed without interrupting the responders.
Capacity Planning
Pourquoi : You forecast demand and find the bottleneck before a launch, so you can request headroom ahead of a traffic peak instead of scaling during it.
Load Testing & Performance
Pourquoi : You run load and soak tests with a tool such as k6 and read the results, so a memory leak or slow query shows up in a test and not on release day.
Infrastructure as Code
Pourquoi : You describe infrastructure in code with versioned state, so an environment can be rebuilt after a failure and changes are reviewed like application code.
CI/CD Pipelines
Pourquoi : You use canary or blue-green rollout with a tested rollback, so a bad release is reverted automatically before it affects most users.
