Reliability isn't just the domain of a dedicated SRE team—it's a shared responsibility. In this track, we’ll explore how modern platform engineering practices and developer enablement strategies are making reliability a team sport.
Learn how organizations are building internal platforms, shaping golden paths, and evolving their cultures to empower engineers at every level to contribute to resilient, scalable systems. From tooling and automation to process and mindset, discover how teams are driving reliability across the stack.

Continuous Delivery for Foundational Platforms
Monday Nov 17 / 10:35AM PST
Platform teams frequently inherit systems that were never architected for their current scale, yet are so foundational that downtime can halt the business.

Enhancing Reliability Using Service-Level Prioritized Load Shedding at Netflix
Monday Nov 17 / 01:35PM PST
How does Netflix maintain a seamless viewing experience for millions of users, especially during traffic spikes or when backend datastores are overloaded? Autoscaling can help during traffic spikes, but it costs money, takes a few minutes to kick in, and capacity may not always be available.

Platform Engineering: Lessons from the Rise and Fall of eBay Velocity
Monday Nov 17 / 02:45PM PST
Once a stock market darling and a pioneering hyperscaler in the 1990s and early 2000s, eBay has been in steady decline since the 2010s. A household name with a flat business, eBay has been unable to make substantive strides in its market reach or its engineering outcomes in the last 15 years.

Beyond Line Charts: Why Some Diversity in Telemetry Visualization Is Long Overdue
Monday Nov 17 / 05:05PM PST
For decades, visualization of service metrics overwhelmingly converges to line charts. The time-centric nature of real-time telemetry further cemented this phenomenon via storage layouts and domain-specific query languages.
