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.

MSA for reliable software


MSA is being viewed as the next-generation application architecture style and pattern. There are several proven techniques for faster software development through a host of agile programming methodologies, such as pair and extreme programming, Scrum, and so on. However, there is a lacuna on accelerated design of enterprise-class applications. MSA is being presented as the new agile application design method. Furthermore, developing applications is also sped up through the careful partitioning of legacy as well as modern applications into a number of easily implementable and manageable application components and services. That is, every software application gets segmented into a set of interactive microservices. Building microservices can be independently accomplished. Applications can be quickly formed out of distributed microservices through composition (orchestration and choreography) platforms. In other words, the era of software development from the ground up...
