Adrien "ZeratoR" Nougaret's annual charity event, Zevent, returned this year with a new addition called Zevent Place. Inspired by Reddit's r/place, Zevent Place is a collaborative canvas where donors can draw pixels based on the amount they donate. Developers William Traoré and Alexandre Moghrabi created the platform with several features, such as Pixel Upgrade system and real-time updates, to protect community creations and enhance user experience.

The team utilized various technologies like GraphQL, NestJS, Redis, and MinIO, and managed to handle massive amounts of updates while maintaining a low CPU and bandwidth footprint. Although there were challenges, such as unexpected rate limit errors with Cloudflare, the event achieved 98.4% uptime, with the downtime being addressed and resolved promptly.

Overall, Zevent Place was a successful project, and valuable lessons were learned throughout its development and implementation.

Now in its fifth year, The SRE Report has become the trusted source of trends and insights for reliability-as-a-feature practices. This year in partnership with Blameless, the report contains special contributions from Adrian Cockcroft and Steve McGhee and highlights findings from a global community of reliability practitioners, including SREs, managers, architects, and executives. As ever, we found some familiar trends and some thought-provoking anti-patterns.

Key findings include:

Organizations who operate with a “just culture” are 500% more likely to be Elite performing organizations. ‍
Elite-performing organizations are 260% more likely to substantially focus on Customer Experience reliability versus Low-performing organizations.
Organizations (59%) say that maintaining innovation velocity occasionally or often impacts employee productivity or morale – 14% unsure.
Organizations (59%) say tool sprawl is a non-existent or minor problem – challenges other research which simply equates tool sprawl to, ‘how many tools are in the stack’.
