SRE Escape Rooms and Reinforced Learning

When I was on the Infrastructure team at Webflow (2017) we started a practice: SRE escape rooms.

How It Works: An SRE escape room designer creates some form of chaos in our acceptance environment and a group of SREs get to figure out how to get acceptance back into a healthy state.

It's been a great way for us to reinforce what we know and learn to keep our systems healthy.

If I ever get around to finishing this, this article will address:

• A more in depth explanation of what an SRE escape room is (similar to what some teams call "game day")
• A few examples of what we've done
• What the science says about spaced repetition for learning
