Postmortem Culture at Google
Details
Writing postmortems after incidents and outages is an essential part of Google's SRE culture. They are blameless, widely shared internally, and allow us as an organization to maximize the insights from failures. We touch on how postmortems are written and used at Google, as well as how they can help in making decisions and driving improved reliability. We also show how you can get started with your own lightweight postmortem process.
Come learn about how Google uses postmortems to learn from failures and what attributes make up the most useful ones.
