Keycloak Site Reliability Engineers Special Interest Group (SRE SIG)

After an initial installation of Keycloak, users today spend a significant amount of time optimizing their installations, keeping them up to date and secure. When doing this, they follow the principles of Site Reliability Engineers, among others automation, setting service level objectives, keeping things simple and monitoring.

The idea of this SIG is to speed up the feedback loop for existing and new features and to improve the communication between people operating Keycloak in real deployments and people developing Keycloak. Thanks to this collaboration, we can make Keycloak follow the SRE principles and make it easier to operate.

Desired outputs:

  • Simplifying Keycloak’s configuration and upgrade process.

  • Collecting best practices and feedback from real-world Keycloak installations to identify and prioritize new features.

  • Educating users about what Keycloak can already do and what items are on the future roadmap.
