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.

Log analytics


Every software and hardware system generates a lot of log data (big data), and it is essential to do real-time log analytics to quickly understand whether there is any deviation or deficiency. This extracted knowledge helps administrators to consider countermeasures in time. Log analytics, if done systematically, facilitates preventive, predictive, and prescriptive maintenance. Workloads, IT platforms, middleware, databases, and hardware solutions all create a lot of log data when they are working together to complete business functionalities. There are several log analytics tools on the market.

Everyone knows that logs play an important role in the IT industry. Logs are used for various purposes such as IT operations, system, and application monitoring, security and compliance, and much more. Having a centralized and standardized logging system makes life easy for software developers. They are often being requested to troubleshoot the application, detect issues, enhance the...
