What's Downdog?

Nothing, what's down with you?

We help teams ship faster and sleep better. Reliability, observability, CI/CD: the stuff that sounds boring until it's 3am and everything's on fire.

Who we are

Downdog is Isobel Redelmeier and Spike Lindsey. We have 20+ years of combined experience as SREs at Discord, Shopify, Lightstep, Wealthsimple, Pivotal, and Monzo. We've seen systems break in every way imaginable - and quietly made them harder to break again.

What we do

SRE and reliability consulting:

• observability
• performance tuning
• game days
• chaos/load testing
• infrastructure migration
• incident management
• CI/CD

Most recently, we helped a major Canadian fintech reduce their delivery cycle time from months to minutes. Get in touch if that sounds useful, or just to say hi.
