Kumori Labo | SRE as a Service

Understanding Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) applies software engineering principles to infrastructure and operations challenges. Pioneered by Google, SRE focuses on creating scalable and highly reliable software systems through automation, monitoring, and proactive problem-solving. A managed SRE service provides these capabilities without the complexity of building and maintaining an internal team.

How We Help

Fully Managed SRE Service

Enable startups and smaller organizations to achieve enterprise-grade reliability without building an in-house SRE team. We implement monitoring, establish SLOs, and manage operations, allowing your engineers to focus on product development while we ensure system stability.

Augmented SRE Teams

Supplement your existing SRE team with specialized expertise for advanced scenarios like chaos engineering, performance optimization, or specific technology stacks. Our experts integrate seamlessly with your team, providing surge capacity during critical projects, filling skill gaps, and mentoring junior engineers while maintaining your established processes and culture.

24/7 Incident Response

Provide round-the-clock monitoring and incident response with guaranteed SLAs for detection and resolution. Our SRE team acts as an extension of yours, handling alerts, triaging issues, and resolving incidents while you sleep, ensuring business continuity across time zones.

Observability Platform Management

Design, implement, and operate comprehensive observability platforms using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic. We handle the complex task of metrics collection, log aggregation, distributed tracing, and dashboard creation while ensuring your teams have the visibility they need to maintain reliability without drowning in data.

Legacy System Reliability

Improve reliability of legacy applications that can't be easily modernized through careful monitoring and automated remediation. We create wrapper services, implement circuit breakers, and establish monitoring that extends system life while planning migration strategies.

Peak Event Management

Provide specialized SRE support during critical business events like Black Friday, product launches, or marketing campaigns. We scale monitoring, implement additional safeguards, and provide real-time support to ensure flawless performance when it matters most.

Multi-Cloud Operations

Manage reliability across complex multi-cloud environments with consistent SRE practices and unified observability. Our team ensures seamless operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP while optimizing costs and maintaining high availability standards.

Compliance-Focused SRE

Deliver SRE services that meet strict regulatory requirements for financial services, healthcare, and government sectors. We implement audit trails, ensure data sovereignty, maintain compliance documentation, and provide quarterly attestation reports while achieving 99.99% availability.
