Monitoring and Observability: They set up logging, metrics, and alerting systems (using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or PagerDuty) to detect problems before they impact users. Post-Incident Reviews: They conduct root cause analysis (postmortems) to ensure failures do not repeat. Capacity Planning: They analyze traffic and usage patterns to forecast future infrastructure and hardware needs. Cross-Team Collaboration: They work alongside software developers to design resilient architectures and make applications more reliable by design.
