In tech consulting, engineering managers (EMs) play a pivotal role in ensuring system reliability while managing resources effectively. At QDS, we advise EMs to focus on cost, performance, and productivity for sustainable growth.
Technical Skills for EMs
EMs should understand system architectures at context and container levels, identifying latency causes and SPOFs. This includes monitoring cloud costs and optimizing on-call processes to reduce incidents.
Integrating Resource Management
Use tools like automated storage systems (ASRS) for edge computing in logistics-heavy tech ops. QDS helps with AI-driven allocations, preventing burnout and boosting team productivity.
Practical Strategies
Implement right-sizing and reserved instances for cloud savings, alongside RFC reviews for risk management.
