Good CI/CD and SRE Blogs

#1
Are there any good blogs that focus on CI/CD pipelines and SRE without a ton of fluff?

I feel like the space moves fast, and I need a way to keep up with it better. In an ideal world I would want to see best practices for different tools, and pipelines so I can evaluate them and adopt what makes sense.

I'm not sure about SRE specific or CI specific writing but at risk of answering another question, here's what comes to mind for me.

In the Operations space my favorite writer is Charity Majors, although a lot of what she talks about isn't OPs specific:

Rachel by the Bay is also great:

Totally not related, but Phil Eaton's posts on how databases work are super interesting and lack fluff.

In terms of CI and builds, I try to write some on this topic for the Earthly Blog. My Bazel article was recently on Hn. Here are my posts:

Warning though, I also write about lots of other stuff. Are there specific CI topics you'd like to see covered?

The biggest issue (for me when writing about it) is that it's really hard to do this when most keys and values in any source or screenshot are internal to the company. I could go and clean it up with placeholder data, but at that point I'm essentially doing my work twice.

- Quastor (https://www.quastor.org/) - Moreso focused on backend engineering but they have a lot of SRE content too. It's a newsletter that looks at all the big tech engineering blogs and sends out summaries of the interesting posts.

- SRE Weekly (https://sreweekly.com/) - Curation newsletter on interesting links in SRE

- SRE Prodcast (https://sre.google/prodcast/) - Good podcast by Google on SRE. They pick a specific topic and then interview an expert on that so each episode is well focused. They also provide transcripts so you can just read through it instead of listening.

- Resilience in Action (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-in-action/i...) - Another good podcast on SRE with interviews.

If you just want a listen of resources, then you should check out the Awesome SRE repo on github - https://github.com/dastergon/awesome-sre

Good stuff. Thanks. This seems to be along the lines of what I was looking for.
