THE SOCIETAL IMPACT OF SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING: BEYOND TECHNOLOGY
Keywords:
Site Reliability Engineering, Societal Impact, Education Technology, Law Enforcement Systems, Digital Art PlatformsAbstract
This article explores the societal impact of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) beyond its traditional technological applications. It examines how SRE principles are being adopted and adapted in diverse sectors such as education, law enforcement, and creative industries. Through case studies and analysis of current trends, the article highlights the benefits of SRE implementation, including improved system reliability, enhanced user experiences, and increased operational efficiency. However, it also addresses the challenges and ethical considerations that arise from applying SRE practices in these non-traditional fields, such as data privacy concerns, potential algorithmic biases, and the need for balancing technological optimization with human factors. By investigating these aspects, the article provides a comprehensive overview of how SRE is reshaping critical systems across various societal contexts and discusses the implications of this widespread adoption
