About the Book
Reliability is a crucial part of your system's success. Whether you're contributing to 30% of the Internet's traffic, or simply serving up your local tennis club's court bookings, if your service is not reliable then you'll, at best, have few users, at worst, only have angry users.
Using a number of real world examples, this book is a collection of practical essays that aim to explore how modern teams shoulder the burden of building and running reliable systems proactively. Topics include adopting Site Reliability Engineering practices, practicing Chaos Engineering safely, and ultimately striking the balance between feature velocity, reliable user experience, and a humane level of development team toil.
