Project Reliability Engineering

Turn your projects from a weekend hack to a long-living creation! Loosely drawing fromthefield known in large software companies as Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), this book distills from these disciplines and addresses?issues that matter to makers: keeping projects up and running, and providing means to control, monitor, and troubleshoot them.? Mostexamplesuse the Raspberry Pi, butthe techniques discussed apply toother platformsas well. This book is all about breadth, and in the spirit of making, it visits different technologies as needed. However, the big goal in this book is to create a shift in the reader's mindset, where weekend hacks are pushed to the next level and are treated as products to be deployed. In that regard, this book can be a stepping stone for hobbyist makers into developing a broader, professional skill set. First, the book describes techniques for creatingweb-browser baseddashboards for projects. These allow project creators to monitor,control, and troubleshoot their projects in real-time.?Project Reliability Engineering?discusses various aspects of the process of creating a web dashboard, such as network communication protocols, multithreading,andweb design, and data visualization. Later chapters coverconfiguration of the project and the machine it's running on, andadditionaltechniques for project monitoring and diagnosis. These include good logging practices;automatic log and metrics monitoring; andalertingviaemailandtext messages; A mixture of advanced concepts forms the lastchapterof the book,touching on topics such as usage of microservices in complex projects;debugging techniques for object-oriented projects; and fail-safingthe project's software and hardware. What You'll Learn Monitor and control projects, keep them up and running, and troubleshoot them efficiently Get acquainted with available tools and libraries, and learn how to make your own tools Expand your knowledge in Python, JavaScript and Linux Develop deeper understanding of web technologies Design robust and complex systems Who This Book Is For Members of the maker community with some development skills.
