Maarten is in conversation with Ramón Medrano, Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Google.

As the book explains how Google’s SRE team builds, deploys, monitors, and maintains some of the largest software systems in the world, Maarten and Ramón’s conversation explores how data practitioners can apply some of the best practices, processes, and thinking, when it comes to data and systems.
