Ask HN: Role of an SRE in a Reliable Service
What's the role of an SRE on a team that owns a fairly reliable service that has identified scaling concerns, alerting/monitoring is well setup, and is managed by a well run team?Obviously, there could still be some unknown issues, or misses, but perhaps not enough work for a full-time SRE in that team?Does it make sense for SREs to be switching their focus to writing business logic for new...

Faster access is sold by gigabytes, which gets reset every 24h (You can still continue browsing after hitting the quota with lower speed). Meanwhile in the US, it's the same but your quota gets reset every billing period. Not sure which is the better model, but it's practically the same
