Google SRE NYC proudly announces the next event in the Google SRE NYC Tech Talk series.
This event is co-sponsored Rootly. Thank you Rootly for your continuing partnership!
Join us for an hour of interactive short talks on Site Reliability & DevOps topics with an opportunity to mingle with the speakers & attendees over some light snacks & beverages.
The event will take place on Tuesday, 24th of June 2025 at 6 PM at our Chelsea Markets office in NYC. The doors will open at 5:30 pm. Pls RSVP only if you're able to attend in-person, there will be no live streaming.
When RSVP'ing to this event, please enter your full name exactly as it appears on your government issued ID. You will be required to present your ID at check in.
Agenda:
Gideon Lapshun - Senior Solutions Engineer at Rootly
Vibe Coding & Site Reliability
We'll explore how vibe coding impacts SRE teams. Attendees will learn how this shift affects reliability & incident response & the challenges it introduces, such as reduced familiarity with codebases among developers & the loss of subject matter expertise.
We'll discuss why incident vibing- leveraging automation & AI-driven features to tackle increased incident volume - is crucial.
The audience will learn practical strategies for:
-Accelerating incident response using AI-generated incident briefings & automated post-mortem drafts.
-Streamlining root cause analysis & resolution through AI-powered anomaly detection & contextual data ingestion.
-Mitigating the limitations of AI systems, such as hallucinations & a lack of context
Ultimately, this talk is about turning a risk into a competitive advantage. Not only empowering SRE teams to handle the growing challenges of AI-driven development, but also graduate to achieving the elusive "six nines" of reliability.
Gideon is a Senior Solutions Engineer at Rootly, helping organizations modernize their incident management & on-call practices. Previously at Sentry, he led technical strategy for strategic clients, built internal tools to streamline operations, & partnered closely with product teams to drive customer-centric solutions. With a background in DevOps, observability, & cloud infrastructure, Gideon brings a pragmatic, collaborative approach to solving complex reliability challenges. Outside of work, he's a sports enthusiast, F1 fan, & lover of all things teamwork-on & off the field.
Rudi Chiarito - Former Research Engineer at Meta & a former SRE at Google
The platform behind a generic noninvasive neuromotor interface for human-computer interaction
In 2024, the Ctrl-labs team at Meta Reality Labs submitted a paper for journal review, introducing the science behind a new neural input device worn on the wrist. This talk will cover the custom Kubernetes-based platform underlying both the research/ML workloads & the data collection. We'll talk about the challenges of serving "only" hundreds of internal scientists & engineers, while also supporting data collection from thousands of volunteers. We'll cover the evolution of the services & codebase, the reliability tradeoffs, the growing pains & the custom tools that we had to build.
Rudi was a Research Engineer at Meta for five years after the acquisition of CTRL-labs. Earlier, he led infrastructure at Clarifai, where he was the very first person to schedule GPUs on Kubernetes, as he authored the code to support them. Before that, he was a Google SRE on storage & various user facing projects, serving billions of end users. He is an avid runner & an expert in useless esoteric trivia about music.
Ronaldo Arrudas - Digital Development Studio Leader at Nearsure
Automated Observability & Incident Response in GCP
Many SRE teams still rely on manual intervention for incident handling; automation can improve response times & reduce toil.
We will cover:
Setting up comprehensive observability: Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, & OpenTelemetry
Incident automation strategies: Runbooks, Auto-Healing, & ChatOps
Lessons from AWS CloudWatch & Azure Monitor applied to GCP
Case study: Reducing MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) through automated detection & remediation
Ronaldo is the Digital Development Studio Leader at Nearsure. He is a gifted individual (AH/SD) & a Mensa member with exceptional analytical & strategic abilities, which he leverages as a leader to precisely execute complex, multidisciplinary projects. His practical, results-driven approach is evident in successful initiatives like the Fractal Initiative & Solution Insights program, demonstrating his impact on organizational transformation. An INTP, he relentlessly pursues innovative & efficient solutions, proactively addressing challenges-as shown by his internationally recognized work on the Coca-Cola GO! Platform. He champions transparency, direct communication, & neurodiversity, fostering inclusive teams through programs like Talk to Ronaldo, & applies a pragmatic approach to negotiations & strategic decisions, consistently focusing on innovation & sustainable value creation.
