About the talk

Availability is one of the key attributes of a reliable software systems. In order for systems to be highly available, they need to be resilient. At Prime Video, the definition of resilience is ‘preparedness to avoid failures, the ability to operate when failures occur, and learning from failures’. In this talk, we will focus on preparedness aspect, where you will learn about how we arrived at a “Team Resilience Score” to measure mechanisms that are targetted at avoiding failures. You will get insights on the mechanisms chosen, the weights assigned to calculate the score, and how teams and leaders use this score. You will also get a peak into a visualization of this score, and learn about the thinking behind the chosen visuals.
