Site Reliability Engineering

This collection of essays and articles looks at how large software systems live. The book argues that a system spends nearly all its life being used, so engineers should look beyond design and development. Members of Google's Site Reliability Team explain how caring for the whole lifecycle lets the company run some of the world's biggest software systems. The book covers what site reliability engineering is, the principles behind it, the practices of daily work, and management topics such as training, communication and meetings.
