For SRE Teams

Onboard SREs in
Weeks, Not Months

New SREs need infrastructure intuition that takes years to develop. Incident Drill compresses that learning curve with hands-on scenarios covering the incidents they'll actually face.

SRE skills take years to build—or do they?

Your new SRE hire has great fundamentals but has never debugged a cascading Kubernetes failure or traced a distributed system deadlock. Traditional onboarding means waiting for real incidents—expensive for the team and stressful for the new hire.

THE SOLUTION

Production experience without the production risk.

Incident Drill gives SREs hands-on experience with infrastructure failures—Kubernetes issues, database replication lag, network partitions, and more. They build real skills before their first on-call shift.

🏗️

Infrastructure-Focused Scenarios

Kubernetes pod failures, etcd issues, network partitions, DNS outages. The infrastructure problems SREs actually handle.

📊

Observability Deep Dives

Practice with Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing. Learn to correlate metrics, logs, and traces like a senior SRE.

🔄

Capacity & Scaling Issues

Simulate resource exhaustion, autoscaling failures, and traffic spikes. Understand system limits before hitting them in production.

📋

Runbook Development

Use scenarios to write and test runbooks. New SREs contribute to documentation while learning.

🎓

Progressive Complexity

Start with single-service issues, progress to multi-cluster cascading failures. Build skills systematically.

🤝

Mentorship Integration

Senior SREs review session recordings and provide targeted coaching. Scale your expertise across the team.

How It Works

1

Assess Starting Point

Evaluate new SRE's current skills and identify gaps in infrastructure and debugging knowledge.

2

Assign Learning Path

Curate scenarios matching your stack—Kubernetes, cloud provider, databases, and common failure modes.

3

Practice & Iterate

SREs work through scenarios independently. Retry difficult ones until concepts click.

4

Graduate to On-Call

When they've mastered the training path, they're ready to join the rotation with confidence.

Build SRE expertise faster.

Give your new SREs the incident experience they need before their first on-call shift.
