Summary
Aly Fulton is a Manager of Site Reliability Engineering with 12 years of experience focused on cloud capacity, reliability, and performance engineering. Based in the DC–Baltimore area, she leads capacity planning and SRE teams at Elastic while drawing on hands-on experience maintaining high-throughput systems (npm handled ~3B weekday requests) and shipping cloud-native enterprise features. She combines software generalist instincts with deep operational pragmatism—automating backups, reducing alert fatigue, and trimming noisy logs to improve observability and toil. Comfortable across Rails, Kubernetes, GCP, and ELK stacks, she also mentors engineers and drives cross-team standards for logging and monitoring. Collected early career experience in support and product-facing roles gives her a user-centric perspective on reliability issues.
