summary
Facebook's Server Lifecycle team shows concrete changes: they add installer options to run burn‑in scripts and disable components so technicians stop reinstalling to debug hardware; they create a user forum that negotiates SLOs between latency and reliability groups; they run a short weekly production meeting, publish reliability reviews and use maturity matrices and a data catalog after a 200‑source outage that took eight hours to recover. Result: clearer expectations, fewer escalations, and about a third of roadmap items coming directly from customer interactions.
