SRE Pulse Roundtable

Reliability engineering is being reshaped by a new reality: code is being written, changed, and shipped faster than ever, and oftentimes a human is hardly in the loop

In this SRE Pulse roundtable, we’ll explore what this shift means for reliability work in practice. As agentic coding and AI-assisted development accelerate delivery, long-standing assumptions around feedback loops, ownership, and decision-making are starting to strain. Nothing has moved so fast or changed so often in the past.

This conversation brings expert practitioners together to discuss what’s already changed, and debate about how to go about the future of reliability engineering.

• Where reliability signals still help, and where they get ignored

• How increased velocity affects on-call, incident response, and accountability

• What breaks first when systems and teams move faster than existing reliability models were designed for

This is a candid, experience-driven discussion for SREs and reliability leaders navigating how to keep systems reliable as development accelerates and becomes more autonomous.
