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.

Describing the service mesh concept


Services ought to be meshed to be versatile, robust, and resilient in their interactions. For an ever-growing microservices world, service mesh-enablement through automated toolkits is being widely recommended. Thus, we come across a number of service mesh solutions that are becoming extremely critical for producing and sustaining both cloud-native and enabled applications. Microservices are turning out to be the most competent building blocks and the units of deployment for enterprise-grade business applications. Because of the seamless convergence of containers and microservices, the activities of continuous integration, delivery, and deployment gets simplified and sped up. As described previously, the Kubernetes platform comes in handy when automating the container life cycle management tasks. Thereby, it is clear that the combination of microservices, containers, and Kubernetes, the market-leading container clustering, orchestration, and management...
