Can a system be considered truly reliable if it isn't fundamentally secure? Or can it be considered secure if it's unreliable? Security is crucial to the design and operation of scalable systems in production, as it plays an important part in product quality, performance, and availability. In this book, experts from Google share best practices to help your organization design scalable and reliable systems that are fundamentally secure.

Two previous O’Reilly books from Google―Site Reliability Engineering and The Site Reliability Workbook―demonstrated how and why a commitment to the entire service lifecycle enables organizations to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain software systems. In this latest guide, the authors offer insights into system design, implementation, and maintenance from practitioners who specialize in security and reliability. They also discuss how building and adopting their recommended best practices requires a culture that’s supportive of such change.

You’ll learn about secure and reliable systems through:

  • Design strategies
  • Recommendations for coding, testing, and debugging practices
  • Strategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents
  • Cultural best practices that help teams across your organization collaborate effectively

From the Preface

Why We Wrote This Book

We wanted to write a book that focuses on integrating security and reliability directly into the software and system lifecycle, both to highlight technologies and practices that protect systems and keep them reliable, and to illustrate how those practices interact with each other. The aim of this book is to provide insights about system design, implementation, and maintenance from practitioners who specialize in security and reliability.

We’d like to explicitly acknowledge that some of the strategies this book recommends require infrastructure support that simply may not exist where you’re currently working. Where possible, we recommend approaches that can be tailored to organizations of any size. However, we felt that it was important to start a conversation about how we can all evolve and improve existing security and reliability practices, as all the members of our growing and skilled community of professionals can learn a lot from one another.

We hope other organizations will also be eager to share their successes and war stories with the community. As ideas about security and reliability evolve, the industry can benefit from a diverse set of implementation examples.

Security and reliability engineering are still rapidly evolving fields. We constantly find conditions and cases that cause us to revise (or in some cases, replace) previously firmly held beliefs.

Who This Book Is For

Because security and reliability are everyone’s responsibility, we’re targeting a broad audience: people who design, implement, and maintain systems. We’re challenging the dividing lines between the traditional professional roles of developers, architects, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), systems administrators, and security engineers. While we’ll dive deeply into some subjects that might be more relevant to experienced engineers, we invite you—the reader—to try on different hats as you move through the chapters, imagining yourself in roles you (currently) don’t have and thinking about how you could improve your systems.

We argue that everyone should be thinking about the fundamentals of reliability and security from the very beginning of the development process, and integrating those principles early in the system lifecycle. This is a crucial concept that shapes this entire book. There are many lively active discussions in the industry about security engineers becoming more like software developers, and SREs and software developers becoming more like security engineers.1 We invite you to join in the conversation.

When we say “you” in the book, we mean the reader, independent of a particular job or experience level. This book challenges the traditional expectations of engineering roles and aims to empower you to be responsible for security and reliability throughout the whole product lifecycle. You shouldn’t worry about using all of the practices described here in your specific circumstances. Instead, we encourage you to return to this book at different stages of your career or throughout the evolution of your organization, considering whether ideas that didn’t seem valuable at first might be newly meaningful.
