Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a unique blend of software engineering and systems engineering aimed at ensuring scalable and reliable systems. SREs strive to build high-quality, reliable software while keeping up with fast-paced development cycles. To achieve these goals, they utilize various tools that help monitor, automate, and optimize performance.
In the world of a site reliability engineer (SRE), failure is not only an option, but also expected. Systems, web applications, servers, devices, etc., are all prone to performance issues and unexpected outages at some point. It is an unavoidable fact. These unexpected failures can lead to huge revenue losses,
Monitoring distributed systems is essential to keep your system running smoothly, efficiently, and reliably. With the growing reliance on distributed systems in everything from web services to cloud computing and large-scale applications, having a robust monitoring setup is crucial. Let’s dive into what distributed systems are, their different types, key
In one of our previous articles, we discussed what an SRE is, what they do, and some of the common responsibilities that a typical SRE may have, like supporting operations, dealing with trouble tickets and incident response, and general system monitoring and observability. In this article, we will take a
What is Site Reliability Engineering? Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE, is a set of principles and practices that applies software engineering techniques to the challenges of IT operations. SRE originated at Google when engineers needed a more systematic, software-oriented approach to manage and optimize their massive infrastructure. SRE’s main goal
Monitoring internal applications presents unique challenges. These applications, which may be crucial for employee productivity, secure data access, and internal workflows, don’t interact with the public internet, making traditional monitoring tools and strategies less effective. However, keeping these applications stable and performant is critical, as any downtime can affect entire
Whether you’re running a small business or a large enterprise, ensuring that your website and emails are trusted by users and other companies is key to maintaining credibility. One major issue that can harm your reputation is ending up on a DNS blacklist. If your IP address is blacklisted, it
Securing sensitive information online is more critical than ever, and SSL certificates are at the forefront of keeping internet communications safe. These certificates are a fundamental component of website security, but without active monitoring, even the most secure SSL certificates can become a vulnerability. Let’s take a closer look at
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are fundamental for SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses. They outline the performance standards clients expect, such as uptime, response times, and support. SLA compliance isn’t just about meeting these standards; it’s about building trust, preventing churn, and sustaining a positive brand reputation. For SaaS businesses,
SaaS offers convenience, scalability, and ease of access, making it a powerful choice for businesses of all sizes. However, monitoring SaaS-based applications comes with unique challenges that can impact performance, security, and the overall user experience if not handled properly. For SaaS providers, ensuring a smooth, reliable, and secure service is
