Daily Runs Reliability Engineering with Google Cloud
Daily, a consumer discretionary organization in China, uses Looker from Google Cloud to support reliability engineering for SRE and operations.
When backup and failover outgrew homegrown tracking, Daily brought in Google Cloud.
“In China, SRE and operations already knew where backup and failover went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads.”

Story
Daily did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed reliability engineering to move. In China, SRE and operations already knew where backup and failover went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Looker from Google Cloud is now in that path. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. The company treats it as production tooling for reliability engineering, which is why SRE and operations live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Daily can show how backup and failover is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run reliability engineering on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
