Description

Building a useful application is part of the challenge. Scaling it up to size at Google is the other part, and it's where SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) is coming into the picture. This talk gives an overview on the technologies and software design patterns that SREs use to make sure that Google's applications run fast and reliable at full scale.
