Practical Site Reliability Engineering

By: Pethuru Raj Chelliah, Shreyash Naithani, Shailender Singh

Overview of this book

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is being touted as the most competent paradigm in establishing and ensuring next-generation high-quality software solutions. This book starts by introducing you to the SRE paradigm and covers the need for highly reliable IT platforms and infrastructures. As you make your way through the next set of chapters, you will learn to develop microservices using Spring Boot and make use of RESTful frameworks. You will also learn about GitHub for deployment, containerization, and Docker containers. Practical Site Reliability Engineering teaches you to set up and sustain containerized cloud environments, and also covers architectural and design patterns and reliability implementation techniques such as reactive programming, and languages such as Ballerina and Rust. In the concluding chapters, you will get well-versed with service mesh solutions such as Istio and Linkerd, and understand service resilience test practices, API gateways, and edge/fog computing. By the end of this book, you will have gained experience on working with SRE concepts and be able to deliver highly reliable apps and services.

Briefing microservices and containers


Microservices are API-enabled, self-contained, loosely coupled, and fine-grained services. MSA represents a high-level architectural style for composing microservices-centric enterprise-grade applications. MSA is a direct and distinct off-shoot of the service oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm to surmount the various SOA drawbacks. Luminaries and pundits, based on their vast experiences with service-oriented enterprise, embedded, and cloud applications, have brought in this new paradigm, which is rapidly sweeping the whole IT industry. MSA brings forth a number of unique business technologies and user benefits. Business systems are greatly empowered to be flexible and extensible through the incorporation of the various MSA characteristics. MSA are typically business-centric to realize next-generation business applications in a configurable, customizable, and composable manner. MSA ultimately provides the relevant capability for the swift and risk-free...
