Comfort with high-school level algebra
Prior familiarity with general software engineering principles highly recommended, but not strictly required
- Learn
- Understand the intent and scope of the Site Reliability Engineering role
- Describe systems and software from the perspective of an SRE
- Identify useful metrics for understanding these systems
- Understand your environment - do you know what you're responsible for?
- Service Level Objectives (SLOs) - can you measure what you're responsible for?
Exercise- Describe the Service Level Objective for a real-life service
- Choose the metrics to express the SLO
- Create a report for this SLO
- Learn
- Build your understanding and use of metrics to monitor and alert on conditions in a service
- Decide between good and bad alerting
- Use metrics to debug your service
- Monitoring and alerting - what data do you have about your services?
- Effective troubleshooting - what tools do you have to debug your services?
Exercise- Create a dashboard for a service, using metrics you have chosen
- Write an alert for this service
- Use these dashboards and alerts as building blocks for communication
This was by far the best training course I have attended. The way it was structured and the support available from the instructor and TAs really made the learning valuable and lasting. I am looking forward to other courses in the near future!
Shoutout to the course team for helping me (and others) keep pushing along to make sure we get through the finish line, even when things are hard. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the accountability and extra help!
I love it - just enough content and guidance that can be covered between work, kids, and life but still learn and be challenged
Completing this course has given me the foundation and confidence needed to make the full jump from Finance to Analytics Engineering. I've always felt like I needed a "credential" to make the full leap. Having gone through the course and learning with this community has made me feel like less of an "imposter" and like I have the skills/knowledge to do this as my profession (or at least know where to go to find the answers!). Really appreciative of the entire staff, TAs, cohort, pod, etc.
Thanks for the awesome course! Really helped me to improve my skillset.
This course has been an amazing learning experience - no only because of the content of the course but also the way in which is taught! It has the perfect mix of online - individual work - community time and resources. The teaching materials are very high quality and the whole team are super attentive and responsive.
It's a great way to learn hands-on experience with dbt, get exposed to real life problems, industry experts and also networking! I highly recommend it!
I would recommend this to anyone looking to get their feet wet in dbt that needs a structured course and accountability to learn a new tool/skill
Absolutely stoked to share this! Over the last month I had the pleasure of learning from some of the great minds coming out of Facebook, Google, and other enterprises doing bleeding edge work in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. Being part of a select cohort spanning three continents I was able to hear about initiatives and research from AI/ML professionals around the globe. NLP is a fast emerging sector that is changing the landscape of software everywhere you look. I'm so honored to be part of this experience and am taking away so many great connections and insights in a field that I really love.
I’ve taken lots of online courses before. The track was a much better experience than any of the other courses.
The Uplimit NLP course has been the most efficient way I've ever learned new skills. Having access to talented instructors and peers made the learning process both quicker and richer.
I got to learn and directly interact with world class practitioners of NLP which no other course in the market offers.
I really enjoyed the course and the community around it. I think it was a great way to not only learn about NLP, but also connect with other engineers in the field.
