How HashiCorp Implements SRE
summary
Central SRE runs a mix of consulting, tooling, and time‑boxed embedding to reduce toil and raise reliability for HCP services: a quarterly embedding finds an HCP billing metering DB on RDS with rising CPU and heavy sequential scans, the team enables Datadog DB tooling, adds a unique block range index and automation, CPU drops and queries run 50% faster, saving disk; core practices include project‑based embedding, HCP billing metering DB, dashboards, SLO coverage and incident repeat metrics.
