When Is SRE Right For You?
summary
Framework names the decisive criteria as mission-critical, operable, mutable and argues SRE works best where business impact justifies investment, operators can actually take action, and code/config can be changed to reduce toil. SRE teams target a 50% toil budget so half their time funds automation and projects. Concrete practices include production readiness reviews (PRRs), duplicating failure domains or caches, and owning critical stacks like ad serving or Kubernetes clusters; hosted vendor boxes and immutable network gear tend to be poorer initial candidates.
