Neuware - Site Reliability Engineering treats operations as a software problem. It is the highly disciplined practice of keeping massive, distributed systems online when physical hardware breaks, networks drop packets, and traffic spikes unexpectedly. By replacing manual administration with automated deployment pipelines, declarative code, and intelligent load shedding, you stop reacting to system failures. Instead, you build fault-tolerant architecture that scales mathematically, anticipates bottlenecks, and heals itself.It happens at 3:00 AM on a Saturday. Your primary database crashes, a sudden surge in traffic overwhelms your edge servers, and the responding engineer is completely locked out of the administration console. Panic sets in, the business starts losing revenue by the second, and the team resorts to frantic guessing.This is the reality for engineering teams that rely on hope rather than architecture. But what if you could engineer that panic away What if, when a data center lost power, your system instantly routed traffic to a secondary node without dropping a single customer request I wrote this book to transition you from waiting for the next catastrophe to a state of absolute control. You are going to learn how to intentionally break your systems during normal business hours just to prove that your automated defenses work flawlessly.What's inside- Defining the Error Budget: Stop arguing over feature releases. Learn to use strict mathematics to govern your deployment velocity and prioritize technical debt.- Eliminating Operational Toil: Replace brittle manual server configurations with resilient Infrastructure as Code and automated progressive delivery pipelines.- Architecting Graceful Degradation: Design microservices that intentionally drop non-critical features to protect your core business logic under massive load.- Executing Chaos Engineering: Safely introduce controlled, automated faults into your live infrastructure to validate resilience and uncover hidden vulnerabilities.- Scaling Human Operations: Structure sustainable on-call rotations, write accessible incident runbooks, and conduct blameless postmortems that generate structural fixes rather than finger-pointing.Who it's meant forThis guide is written for software developers, systems engineers, and product managers who are exhausted by fighting fires. If you are responsible for scaling backend architecture, deploying cloud resources, or keeping a production platform online, this book gives you the exact tools to stop performing manual damage control. It is designed for professionals ready to build a self-regulating, highly available infrastructure.Stop hoping your servers survive the next traffic spike. Take total control of your infrastructure, eliminate the anxiety of production deployments, and engineer a system that thrives under pressure.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
