Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 team on-call
Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 team on-call
Single ownership model.
Helps when the system has an issue and the on-call takes charge and resolves it, as the team knows more about the system than the DevOps people.
Most issues are small and easy to resolve.
The smaller the team, the bigger the on-call load and on-call time.
AWS is not the most reliable, as per the last three outages in three months, so on-call is not fun during this time.
Also, on-call during the holidays is no fun.
Try to have a proper team size with proper leveling in the team. Having more SDE3 with low SDE2 and low SDE1 doesn't help the team in being a team, but only in knowledge sharing.

It went well, with half an hour for leadership principles and the other half an hour for coding and system design. It’s a great experience overall. System design, they expect more clarity.
