Introduction

TODO

Automation

Anything which can, should be automated.

Simplicity

Simplicity is an important goal for SREs, as it strongly correlates with reliability: simple software breaks less often and is easier and faster to fix when it does break. Simple systems are easier to understand, easier to maintain, and easier to test. - The Site Reliability Workbook (O'Reilly)

Monitoring

Collecting, processing, aggregating, and displaying real-time quantitative data about a system, such as query counts and types, error counts and types, processing times, and server lifetimes. - Google SRE

Microservices
