Site Reliability: Improving Performance and Availability

Focused on implementing a comprehensive performance and capacity tests with a strong emphasis on robust load management using k6. The pipeline was instrumental in discovering low-performing endpoints, including identifying memory leaks, through the use of monitoring solutions like Sentry, Signoz, and OpenObserve. Additionally, the project involved creating a scalability profile with precise business growth expectations to ensure smooth handling of traffic peaks. By identifying bottlenecks and misconfigurations, the response time of critical endpoints was significantly improved. Furthermore, the project aimed to increase developer ownership by amplifying observability, providing developers with better tools and insights to monitor and improve the performance of their services.
