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 Game Days to Test Incident Response","slug":"how-sre-teams-use-game-days-to-test-incident-response","published_at":"2026-06-24T10:11:19+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-game-days-to-test-incident-response","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-0070.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0070.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the practice of game days — structured simulations where SRE teams deliberately inject failures to test their incident response and on-call processes. They discuss a real example from a major streaming platform that runs quarterly game days to validate runbooks and reduce mean time to resolve from 45 minutes to under 15. The hosts explore how game days differ from chaos engineering, why psychological safety is critical for participation, and how teams can start small with a single service dependency failure. They also share tips on post-game day retrospectives and building a culture of preparedness without blame. #GameDays #IncidentResponse #SRE #SiteReliabilityEngineering #ChaosEngineering #OnCall #Runbooks #MeanTimeToResolve #Reliability #ProductionEngineering #DevOps #Resilience #FaultInjection #Postmortem #PsychologicalSafety #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the practice of game days — structured simulations where SRE teams deliberately…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":415,"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-game-days-to-test-incident-response/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-game-days-to-test-incident-response.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
