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.

Asynchronous messaging patterns for event-driven microservices


Here are a few popular asynchronous messaging patterns that enable the faster realization of event-driven and asynchronous messaging microservices. Let's refer to the following points:

  • Event sourcing: Today, events are penetrative and pervasive, and occur in large numbers due to the broader and deeper proliferation of multi-faceted sensors, actuators, drones, robots, electronics, digitized elements, connected devices, factory machineries, social networking sites, integrated applications, decentralized microservices, distributed data sources, stores, and so on. Thus, events from varied and geographically distributed sources get streamed into an event store, which is termed as a database of events. This event store provides an API to enable various consuming services to subscribe and use authorized events. The event store primarily operates as a message broker. Event sourcing persists the state of a business entity such as an order...
