SREs improve the reliability of production systems, and reducing mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) is their top priority. More than half (51%) of SREs say they dedicate significant time to influencing architectural design decisions to improve reliability. MTTR reduction remains top of the list for SREs.

Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. If you did such a benchmark, here’s an incomplete picture you might end up with: Graph of microbenchmark showing RPC is faster than messaging.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.
