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.

Microservices design – best practices


As microservices get established and elevated as the next-generation application building block, microservices design has to be done leveraging the various patterns, practices, and platforms. This section throws some light on some of the best practices recommended by highly accomplished and acclaimed software architects. There are articles and blogs explaining the various best practices for the efficient design of microservices.

Precisely speaking, with the unprecedented adoption of microservices architecture and the steady growth of the tool ecosystem, the risk-free realization of modular, service-oriented, extensible, event-driven, cloud-hosted, process-centric, business-critical, insights-filled, scalable, and reliable applications is gaining momentum.

It is a widely accepted fact that MSA guarantees the much needed agility in application design, development, and deployment. However, there are a few challenges. Microservices can be weighed down due...
