Want to build systems that evolve fast and that your users can rely on?
The "Building Reliable Systems Masterclass" course covers:
SYNOPSIS:
Users want reliability. Your business wants speed and agility. You need to invest in resilience, and this is the best course to get you rolling.
Teaching patterns, practices and hard-won lessons from the trenches, this course takes you through effective Site Reliability Engineering, Reliable Delivery Strategies, Designing for Failure, Observability, Engineering Resilience and Chaos Engineering.
It's the course for the modern software owner that gives you the patterns, practices and tools to enable your own organisation's Resilience Engineering capability, helping you build systems that are reliable and evolve at speed.
This course is for you if you are:
TOPICS COVERED:
PREREQUISITES:
No prerequisites are required to get full value out of this course. The samples and practical examples explored use the Chaos Toolkit and work upon a system that comprises Kubernetes as the platform and Spring Boot/Cloud/Java as the sample implementation but no prior knowledge of these technologies is expected.
FORMAT OF THE COURSE:
A 2 or 3 day course duration options. The course is 50% theory, 50% labs to explore the different concepts being discussed. Please bring your laptop.

It's the course for the modern software owner that gives you the patterns, practices and tools to enable your own organisation's Resilience Engineering capability, helping you build systems that are reliable and evolve at speed.
This course is for you if you are:
- A software developer with a traditional background and you need to start taking responsibility for your code in production.
- A site reliability engineer (SRE) with a little experience of managing production and you need to be proactive about finding system weaknesses before your customers do.
- A system administrator who is responsible for the availability of production and you need a proactive technique for surfacing system weaknesses before your customers experience them.
- A product owner who is responsible for delivering a business-critical product or service and you need to know how to gain trust and confidence in your system’s reliability.
TOPICS COVERED:
- How to successfully apply the best parts of Site Reliability Engineering to your organisation
- How to build a reliable delivery pipleline, without slowing down the pace of change.
- How to Design for Failure, and Incorporate Observability into your systems.
- How to Engineer for Resilience through enabling Learning Loops, Blameless Post-mortems and Chaos Engineering.

Very useful and got out of it good engineering concepts |
Not one to miss - great insights and opportunity to put them in to practice - no prescription of Java :) |
