Book
The Site Reliability Workbook
Betsy Beyer, Niall Richard Murphy, David K. Rensin, Kent Kawahara, Stephen Thorne
Summary
Where Site Reliability Engineering laid out Google's principles, this companion volume works through implementing them, using worked examples and case studies from companies including Evernote, The Home Depot, and The New York Times that went through the same adoption. It moves from defining and implementing SLOs, with a full case study chapter, through monitoring, SLO-based alerting, and eliminating toil, then into incident response, postmortem culture, load management, and non-abstract large system design. Written because readers of the first book kept asking how to actually start, it's structured as a workbook rather than a reference: closer to a guided exercise than a text to read straight through.
Target Readers
- Teams who read Site Reliability Engineering and now need a concrete starting point for implementing SLOs on their own service
- SRE leads who want case studies from companies outside Google to see how the principles adapt to a smaller organization
- Operations leaders establishing SLO-based alerting who need worked examples, not just the theory behind error budgets
