The SRE Report 2025 Insights and Findings

The SRE Report 2025 is a comprehensive technical report based on insights from an annual survey focused on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices. The report aims to advance reliability and resilience by documenting the evolving perceptions of performance, particularly the notion that 'slow is the new down.' This year’s edition examines new research themes, including production pressures and management responsibilities impacting reliability perceptions. Additionally, the report presents data regarding organizational priorities for adopting SRE practices in the coming year, emphasizing the importance of Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Experience Level Objectives (XLOs). The findings suggest a significant rise in operational toil levels, indicating a growing burden of manual, repetitive tasks in the field. The report provides an objective presentation of data, empowering organizations to derive insights pertinent to their unique challenges in enhancing system reliability.
