Service Reliability Engineering - Failures are Always an Option

HackConf

Sep 16, 2018

Modern software systems are usually built using smaller, interconnected components. The rise of the microservices architecture popularity tends to increase the overall number of components compared to the traditional monolith approach. Both components and interconnections are subject to failure. The risk of failure also increases with the number of components, decreasing the overall system reliability.

The talk aims to outline the most common sources of failure and to give engineers an awareness of how to design, deploy, and monitor such systems, ultimately increasing the reliability of the service. The talk balances distilled experience from industry giants with hands-on observations.
