Show HN: I wrote a beginner SRE book, and it's free today
Hello! I wrote an introductory SRE Book:
Site Reliability Engineering Tidbits
and it's free today!
These are short fun chapters about SRE, monitoring, debugging, observability, and resiliency.
This book aims to provide hands on examples of implementing a number of concepts described in Google's SRE books. It also describes how i've seen SRE concepts impact some of the organizations I've worked in.
A couple chapters are hands on debugging exercises going through the process of debugging applications based on data. I'm excited because every chapter describes something that I've done in paying jobs, so it documents real life SRE in action at various size organizations, and not theoretical SRE concepts.
- jack335 5y agoCool! I downloaded it and give it a try. Thanks for sharing :)
- Havoc 5y agoThanks for sharing. Keen on seeing the monitoring content in particular Unrelated to the book - Amazon is pushing Kindle Unlimited so hard that I couldn't find a way to "buy" this from my phone. Had to fetch a laptop. Kindle app doesn't support buying and amazon app only has "£0 kindle unlimited" and hardcover
- tluyben2 5y agoThanks! Will write a review as free reading as well.
- throwaway81523 5y agoIs there a non-kindle, non-amazon way to download this? Thanks.
- dm03514 5y agoSorry not right now. In a couple of weeks, when it expires from KDP select, I'll make a site to provide a PDF download, and do another free run.
- tenben10 5y agoHi, would love to get a free copy, but I'll wait for the PDF download. The Amazon India site unfortunately gives the book for free only if you have Kindle Unlimited, otherwise it's about $6.
