Site Reliability Engineering

Reliability You Can Measure. Operations You Can Scale.

We establish the SRE practices that balance system reliability with engineering velocity — defining SLOs, building observability, and creating the on-call culture that sustains both.

SLO & SLI Design

Service Level Objectives define what "reliable enough" means for each service — making reliability a data-driven conversation, not an argument.

Get Started
  • SLI identification: latency, availability, error rate, saturation
  • SLO target-setting aligned to user expectations and business impact
  • Error budget calculation and visualization
  • SLO reporting dashboards for engineering and leadership
  • Multi-window alerting aligned to SLO burn rate

Observability Stack

You can't improve what you can't measure. We build the metrics, logs, and traces infrastructure that gives your team full system visibility.

Get Started
  • Prometheus and Grafana for metrics and dashboards
  • OpenTelemetry instrumentation for distributed tracing
  • Centralized logging with Loki, ELK, or Datadog Logs
  • Synthetic monitoring and uptime checks
  • Custom alerting rules eliminating alert fatigue

Incident Response & On-Call

Great incident response is a practice, not improvisation. We establish the playbooks, tooling, and culture for fast, structured incident resolution.

Get Started
  • On-call rotation design and PagerDuty setup
  • Incident severity classification and escalation matrix
  • Runbook development for common incident types
  • Incident command structure and communication templates
  • Blameless post-mortem process and action item tracking

Toil Elimination & Automation

SRE teams should spend time on engineering, not repetitive manual operations. We identify and automate the toil burning your engineers' time.

Get Started
  • Toil audit: quantify time spent on manual operations work
  • Automated remediation for common alert types
  • Self-healing infrastructure with AWS EventBridge and Lambda
  • Runbook automation using Ansible and PagerDuty
  • Capacity planning automation and proactive scaling

What We Deliver

A comprehensive set of SRE capabilities, designed to work together or independently.

SLI definition, SLO targets, error budgets, and burn rate alerting for every service.

Observability Platform

Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry stack with custom dashboards and alerts.

On-Call Program

PagerDuty setup, rotation design, escalation policies, and runbook library.

Runbook Development

Step-by-step runbooks for common incident types and operational procedures.

Post-Mortem Process

Blameless post-mortem framework and action item tracking for continuous improvement.

Automated remediation and self-healing reducing manual operational burden.

60%
Incident Reduction

Teams that implement SRE practices typically see a 60% reduction in production incidents within 6 months.

5x
MTTR Improvement

Good runbooks and observability reduce mean time to recover by 5x or more.

< 5min
Alert-to-Page SLA

Properly configured alerting delivers actionable pages within 5 minutes of a real issue.

Why Choose InnovTen

We don't just deliver projects. We build partnerships that drive long-term outcomes.

Data-Driven Reliability

SLOs replace subjective arguments about reliability with measurable, agreed-upon targets.

Velocity Without Breaking Things

Error budgets create a framework for balancing reliability and feature velocity.

Full System Visibility

Metrics, logs, and traces giving your team the context to resolve incidents quickly.

Sustainable On-Call

Proper on-call design and automation preventing the burnout that causes team turnover.

Reduced Toil

Automating repetitive operations frees engineers for work that actually improves the system.

Organizational Learning

Blameless post-mortems build institutional knowledge and prevent incident recurrence.

Our Delivery Process

How we approach every SRE engagement, from first call to ongoing operations.

STEP 1

Current State Assessment

Review current alerting, incident history, on-call practices, and observability gaps.

STEP 2

SLO Design Workshop

Define SLIs and SLOs for critical services with engineering and product stakeholders.

STEP 3

Observability Build

Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing, and structured logging infrastructure.

STEP 4

On-Call & Runbooks

Design on-call rotations, configure PagerDuty, and develop runbooks for top incident types.

STEP 5

Toil Automation

Identify and automate top toil items to reduce operational burden on the engineering team.

SRE in Action

Real-world applications across industries we've delivered for.

Technology

SRE Program Launch

Established SRE practice from scratch — SLOs, observability, and on-call program. 65% reduction in production incidents in 6 months.

E-Commerce

On-Call Burnout Recovery

Reduced on-call alert volume from 200 to 15 actionable pages per week through alert tuning and runbook automation.

FinTech

Observability Migration

Migrated from fragmented monitoring to unified Prometheus/Grafana/Otel stack — MTTR improved from 45 minutes to 8 minutes.

Healthcare

Post-Mortem Culture

Implemented blameless post-mortem process — recurring incidents dropped 70% as root causes were systematically addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our SRE services.

An SLO (Service Level Objective) is a target reliability level for a service — for example, "99.9% of requests succeed within 500ms." SLOs matter because they make reliability a data-driven conversation. Instead of "the site feels slow," you have a specific target and can measure whether you're meeting it.

If your SLO is 99.9% availability, you have 0.1% of the time as your "error budget" — time the service is allowed to be unreliable. Error budgets are spent on incidents but also on risky deployments and planned downtime. When the budget is exhausted, you prioritize reliability over new features until it replenishes.

Prometheus + Grafana is open-source, highly customizable, and free (excluding infrastructure costs) — best for teams with engineering capacity to manage it. Datadog is a fully managed SaaS that's faster to get value from but significantly more expensive at scale. We help you choose based on team size, budget, and operational capacity.

Sustainable on-call requires: actionable alerts (no noise), good runbooks so on-call engineers can resolve issues quickly, reasonable rotation frequency (no more than 1 week in 5 on primary), and a commitment to reducing toil every sprint. We design rotations and alert standards that prevent the burnout that causes attrition.
