Development Department Learning and Development - Reliability
Goal of this training
As we have a renewed focus on reliability in engineering to reduce outages, we have made many changes to the handbook, production documentation, and our processes. While we have announced them via multimodal communication (EWIR, slack, email, meetings), not everyone has likely seen and internalized all of the important changes.
We want to gather all the crucial changes, explain why we made them, discuss a summary, and link to where you can find more information.
This material is available as a learning pathway on GitLab’s Level Up.
