Very little at the scale of this codebase is still a lot.

From where I sit (SRE), I see a lot of Python which is very much mission critical.

is it really Python though ?

  • yes, SRE uses loads of python, despite a decade+ pseudo-mandate to encourage Go

    • I have heard that SRE teams can get away with this on the idea that SREs usually are not as good at software engineering as SWEs, so some bad engineering practices can fly.

      I never saw Python actually get used, though, in the projects I worked on.
