Reliability Practices

Operational habits that keep deployment velocity and resilience in balance.

  1. Error budget policy pauses risky releases when burn rate spikes.
  2. Synthetic checks validate critical user journeys before and after rollout.
  3. Incident postmortems feed runbook updates and measurable prevention actions.
  4. Reliability work is tracked alongside feature work, not treated as optional debt.
