How SiriusXM Used Readiness Days to Launch its Next-Gen Streaming App to 34 Million Subscribers

The engineering team at SiriusXM, North America’s leading audio entertainment company, was tasked with launching a next-gen streaming platform. These new digital capabilities were slated to replace their long-term heritage systems and deliver an upgraded, reliable audio experience to 34 million subscribers. And they were given an ambitious deadline: just one year!

 

Join Rachel Uhrig, VP of Engineering Excellence at SiriusXM, as she shares how her team developed a reliability-engineering program that ensured a successful product launch, and that still persists post-launch. The program included monthly readiness days where hundreds of engineers and seven organizational units across nine time zones performed live chaos testing. You’ll learn how building a culture of reliability can reduce risks when launching new products, and improve reliability for the ones that are already in production.
