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.

Thanks 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

That’s weird; I had that before but for this one it just immediately worked on my phone.

App or web browser?

Is there a non-kindle, non-amazon way to download this? Thanks.

Sorry 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.

Hi, 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.
