Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems
by Niall Richard Murphy, Chris Jones, Betsy Beyer
The first thing that comes to mind about this book is how massive it is. Most of my peers who have read it have read one or two chapters, skimmed one or two more and called it a day. I can see why. However, I found a lot of value in each part of the book. Look, google runs a LOT of stuff. And the run it really well.
I've worked in Ops teams, Dev teams and DevOps teams, and this book gives you plenty to think about wherever you fall in that spectrum, whether you work in an organization where SRE is being considered or not.
My favorite quote from the book, attributed to Joseph Bironas:

My favorite quote from the book, attributed to Joseph Bironas:
If we are engineering processes and solutions that are not automatable, we continue having to staff humans to maintain the system. If we have to staff humans to do the work, we are feeding the machines with the blood, sweat, and tears of human beings. Think The Matrix with less special effects and more pissed off System Administrators.
