Google Site Reliability Engineers and Editors
Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, and Niall Richard Murphy are editors of Site Reliability Engineering, the definitive guide to how Google runs its production systems. The book brings together essays from dozens of Google engineers on building and operating large scale, reliable software systems.
by Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, Niall Richard Murphy
Beyer and colleagues compile essays from Google's SRE organisation explaining how the company runs planet-scale systems through error budgets, service level objectives, and a deliberate blend of software engineering and operations. The editors argue that reliability is a first-class engineering problem addressed with automation, measurement, and blameless postmortems rather than heroics.
The books Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, Niall Richard Murphy references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Jez Humble
Humble and Farley argue that software should always be in a deployable state. Automating the build, test, and release pipeline eliminates risk and makes frequent, reliable releases routine.
by Gene Kim
Kim uses a novel format to show how DevOps principles, flow, feedback, and continual learning, can rescue a failing IT organisation. A parable about breaking down silos.
by Frederick Brooks
Brooks argues that adding more programmers to a late project makes it later - a principle now known as Brooks' Law. The deeper insight: software complexity grows faster than headcount, making communication the real bottleneck.
