In this episode of Rollback Café, Sylvian joins us to explore how AI is reshaping incident response and modern SRE practices.

From faster detection to smarter debugging, we unpack where AI is actually adding value-and where it still falls short in real-world production environments.

We discuss:

• how AI is being used in incident detection and response
• the role of prompting in debugging and investigation workflows
• opportunities and limitations of AI in high-pressure incidents
• how SRE teams can integrate AI without compromising reliability
• the evolving skillset required for engineers in AI-assisted operations

This conversation focuses on practical, experience-driven insights-not hype-around applying AI in reliability engineering.

Who this is for
SREs, DevOps engineers, platform teams, and engineering leaders working on incident management, reliability, and production systems.

Uncover the hidden truth behind DevOps that nobody talks about. It's not just about tools or scripts, it's about culture, resilience, and scaling your entire system with confidence. If you think DevOps is only about CI/CD pipelines or monitoring metrics, think again. What is the real game-changer?

In this fiery episode, Pratik Parikh, a leading DevOps engineer and community influencer, shares raw stories from his journey—how a single outage during a late-night deployment transformed his perspective forever. He dives deep into why resilience isn’t just a technical metric but a reflection of your team’s culture. You’ll learn why scaling systems is more than just code it's about understanding infrastructure, security, and user experience on a whole new level.

In this episode of Rollback Café, we host Bryan Finster co-author of MinimumCD.org, seasoned Continuous Delivery practitioner, and enterprise transformation leader, for a grounded, experience-driven conversation on what truly matters in modern software delivery.

Moving beyond tools and process theater, Bryan shares practical insights on defining the minimum bar for Continuous Delivery, identifying “SAD DevOps” anti-patterns, and systematically reducing the friction that slows teams down. Drawing from real-world experiences across large-scale and constrained environments, this session focuses on outcomes that improve delivery safety, developer experience, and organizational trust without over-engineering or dogma.
