Each episode takes a single concept — error budgets, toil automation, postmortem culture, capacity planning — and grounds it in a specific case: how a major streaming service reduced paging noise, how a payments platform rebuilt its incident command structure, or how a cloud provider manages multi-region failover. Lucas brings the numbers — latency percentiles, MTTR trends, SLO burn rates — while Luna pushes on the human and organizational trade-offs: What does a junior SRE need to know about on-call? How do you measure reliability without crushing innovation? Why do some blameless postmortems actually work? Together they treat SRE not as a certification topic but as a living practice, citing real outages, open-source tools, and engineering blogs. This show is for engineers, ops leads, and platform teams who already know the basics and want to debate the hard edges: Is 99.999% uptime always worth the cost? When should you deliberately degrade service to improve reliability? How do you design for resilience when your…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:18:41.635042+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923"},"episode":{"title":"How SRE Teams Use Capacity Planning to Prevent Outages","slug":"how-sre-teams-use-capacity-planning-to-prevent-outages","published_at":"2026-07-01T12:47:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-capacity-planning-to-prevent-outages","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0084.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0084.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into capacity planning for SRE teams — the proactive discipline that keeps systems running when traffic spikes. Using the example of a major streaming platform's 2024 holiday season surge, they break down how capacity planning differs from simple scaling, why it's part of reliability engineering, and how teams use traffic forecasting, load testing, and cost models to avoid the 'one server too few' trap. They also discuss the tension between over-provisioning and under-provisioning, and how error budgets feed into capacity decisions. A concrete look at a less-glamorous but essential SRE practice. #CapacityPlanning #SiteReliabilityEngineering #SRE #Uptime #ProductionEngineering #Infrastructure #Scaling #LoadTesting #TrafficForecasting #ErrorBudget #CloudCost #Reliability #StreamingPlatform #HolidaySurge #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into capacity planning for SRE teams — the proactive discipline that keeps systems ru…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":459,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/episodes/how-sre-teams-use-capacity-planning-to-prevent-outages/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-capacity-planning-to-prevent-outages.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
