SRE for Startups
You do not need a 50-page SRE handbook or a dedicated reliability team. You need enough process to keep your product running while you ship fast. Anubiz Engineering implements startup-appropriate SRE — monitoring that catches real problems, alerts that page for actual user impact, and incident processes that fit a team of three.
Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Right-Sized Monitoring
Startups do not need 500 dashboards. We set up the essential signals: request latency and error rates for your API, database query performance, background job throughput, and external dependency health. One dashboard per service, no more. Prometheus with Grafana if you self-host, or Datadog with tight cost controls if you prefer managed. Every metric we instrument answers a specific operational question.
Actionable Alerting
The typical startup either has zero alerts or 200 alerts that everyone ignores. We configure 10-15 high-signal alerts that page only for user-impacting conditions. Symptom-based alerts (elevated error rate, high latency) instead of cause-based alerts (CPU above 80%). Each alert links to a runbook with clear steps. If an alert fires and the engineer does nothing, that alert gets deleted.
Minimal Incident Process
For a small team, the incident process is simple: acknowledge the alert, open a thread in the incidents channel, fix it, write a 5-bullet postmortem. No formal Incident Commander role, no stakeholder bridges, no 12-page review document. We set up the tooling (alert routing, incident channel template, postmortem template) and train the process in a 30-minute session.
First SLOs
Your first SLOs should cover your most critical user journey — usually API availability and latency. We set up two or three SLOs, configure error budget tracking, and establish a simple policy: if the budget is healthy, ship whatever you want; if budget is low, fix reliability before adding features. This single mechanism prevents the death spiral of shipping fast and breaking things repeatedly.
