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.

The promising and potential approaches for resiliency and reliability


Resiliency patterns are good to a certain extent in providing the required resiliency. In this section, we will be focusing on the various aspects of establishing and enforcing the mandated resiliency.

MSA is the prominent way forward

With the faster proliferation of mobile, wearable, portable, nomadic, wireless, and various other I/O devices, the users are demanding ubiquitous access to various applications, services, data sources, and content. For realizing sophisticated applications, not only the pervasive access but also the easy and quick leverage of data and services is essential. That means software applications and services ought to be made available all the time. Even if there is an attack on one or more services, the system has to continuously function by tolerating all kinds of faults, failures, and mishaps. If the application is under a heavy load, then the system has to scale up or out accordingly to respond...
