- pushing our systems to their limits, and then coming up with designs for how to get them to the next performance tier.
- safeguarding reliability. Ensuring that our services are highly available, resilient against disasters, self-monitoring, and self-healing.
- running “game days” to test assumptions about reliability and learn what will break before it matters to customers.
- building systems to proactively monitor the health, performance and security of our production and non-production virtualized infrastructure.
