Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems

by Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, Niall Richard Murphy

star4.4

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.
