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.

Chapter 3. Microservice Resiliency Patterns

It is an overwhelmingly recognized fact that businesses across the globe can easily attain the elusive goal of reliability by putting highly reliable IT systems in place, as IT is the most direct and greatest business-enabler. However, producing reliable IT systems is beset with a number of challenges and concerns, since IT complexity is consistently on the rise due to the heightened heterogeneity and the growing multiplicity of various information technologies and tools. There have been various approaches, best practices, optimization techniques, patterns, and algorithms recommended by subject matter experts (SMEs) and accomplished architects for consistently moderating IT complexity and for producing reliable IT systems in plenty. Resiliency and elasticity are the top two ingredients for having reliable systems. In other words, business workloads and IT services have to be elegantly resilient and elastic to be reliable in their operations, offerings...
