howtheysre is a curated collection of publicly available resources documenting how organizations practice Site Reliability Engineering.
The project addresses the challenge of learning how real-world companies implement SRE principles by aggregating case studies, blog posts, talks, and other public materials from technology organizations. Rather than presenting abstract SRE theory, it gathers concrete examples of how established companies approach reliability engineering in practice, making it easier for teams to understand and adopt SRE methodologies based on proven approaches.
Teams evaluating SRE adoption should use this collection to see how organizations similar to theirs have tackled reliability challenges. It suits anyone building or improving an SRE program who wants to learn from public examples rather than starting from first principles. The resource covers the full spectrum of SRE concerns including alerting, incident response, on-call practices, monitoring, observability, chaos engineering, and post-mortem processes, making it useful whether you are establishing SRE culture, improving incident management, or designing monitoring and alerting strategies.
The project maintains an active curation model with contributions accepted through standard pull requests. The inclusion of hacktoberfest topics indicates ongoing community engagement around expanding the collection. Development activity shows consistent effort to keep the resource current and comprehensive as organizations continue publishing new SRE materials and practices.
