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.

Service mesh solutions


It is an indisputable truth that the resiliency of microservices leads to reliable systems. For crafting process-aware, business-centric, and composite applications, several microservices have to be fused together. Resilient and scalable microservices are collaborating with one another, leading to the realization of reliable software systems.

The service resiliency is being achieved through the leverage of service mesh solutions, such as Istio, Linkerd, and Conduit. Forming service meshes is the way forward for ensuring the much-demanded service resiliency while services interact with one another. The faster maturity and stability of service mesh-enabling solutions goes a long way in establishing resilient microservices, which, when composed together, form reliable systems. Thus, containerized microservices, container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, and the incorporation of service mesh solutions blend well to put a robust and versatile foundation for producing...
