Building Reliable Services on the Cloud

For a product or service to be successful, it must be reliable. Users need to trust that a service will be available when needed and that it won't lose the data it's entrusted to store. Outages erode trust and motivate users to seek and adopt alternatives; data loss is likely to destroy trust altogether.

This new report authored by Google experts shows software engineers, site reliability engineers, and cloud engineers how to build similarly reliable services. 

This report sponsored by Blameless, helps:

• Define objectives for your service to ensure it satisfies users while minimizing costs.
• Identify the dependencies you'll use to build a service so you can leverage them effectively.
• Architect your service by developing APIs, decomposing the system into components, and designing components to contribute to service objectives.
• Avoid common failure modes that can create outages or cause your service to miss objectives.
