Why was it proposed for deletion?[edit]

Site Reliability Engineering is a different approach to IT Engineering and was acknowledged by many companies other than Google. I would expect to see a meaningful discussion before there is a resolution. https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/devops/what-is-sre Ronnieroxx (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Site reliability engineering is one of the hottest job titles right now. https://techbeacon.com/enterprise-it/what-it-takes-be-site-reliability-engineer is one such source indicating that 22% of IT organizations have a role titled "SRE" these days. https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/02/are-site-reliability-engineers-the-next-data-scientists/ Lizthegrey (talk) 15:01, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Google came up with SRE, links are to Google. Just like links about the Toyota Production System would, presumably, link to Toyota. That's not a reason NOT to have a wikipedia page about an industry trend, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.59.113 (talk) 15:35, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While SRE started at Google, right now there are job openings for SRE [1] [2] (even in Wikimedia [3]), Youtube videos [4] [5], Conferences [6], and other resources (RedHat, Atlassian, Microsoft). A better list is here. I'd argue that the article needs to be expanded considerably.

I've removed the tag, cleaned up the article, and added further references to non-Google sources. I am a software engineer by trade, but I don't and have never worked for Google (unless you count Google Summer of Code years ago, but I don't).

It's a good start but I agree the article should be expanded considerably. Jtingiris (talk) 19:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
