Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems | O’Reilly Paperback

We are a small team of fans. We check every order before dispatch, ship fast across India, and stand behind what we sell.

The book that gave an entire discipline its vocabulary. Written by the Google engineers who invented the role, Site Reliability Engineering explains how a company runs enormous systems by treating operations as a software problem — and it is the origin of terms like error budget and SLO that every infrastructure team now uses.

What the book covers

• The SRE model: what the role is, and the 50% cap on operational work
• Service level indicators, objectives and agreements — and how to choose numbers that mean something
• Error budgets, and how they resolve the fight between velocity and stability
• Eliminating toil, and automation as a first-class engineering output
• Monitoring, alerting philosophy, and avoiding pages nobody should receive
• Release engineering, canarying, and simplicity as a reliability strategy
• Incident response, on-call practice, and blameless postmortem culture
• Distributed consensus, load balancing, cascading failures and overload handling

Who it’s for

SREs, platform and DevOps engineers, and engineering managers designing on-call and reliability practice. Written as a collection of essays, so it reads well out of order.
