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 8. Realizing Reliable Systems - the Best Practices

System reliability is defined as the combination of system resiliency and elasticity. With the proliferation of web-scale, data-intensive, and process-intensive applications across industry verticals, the application reliability has to be ensured at any cost to fulfil varying business expectations. Similarly, cloud environments emerge as the one-stop IT solution for business process and operation automations. All kinds of personal, professional, and social applications are being meticulously modernized and moved to cloud centers to reap all the originally expressed benefits of the software-defined cloud infrastructures. Thus, cloud reliability is also guaranteed through the leverage of highly pioneering technologies and tools. Thus, the reliability of applications and IT infrastructures is very important to encourage customers to retain their confidence and continuity on the various innovations and improvisations happening in the...
