With the constantly fluctuating demands of the volatile market, organizations deem it necessary for systems to interoperate. Additionally, application users are demanding more complex business solutions to meet their performance needs putting an extra burden on products leading to failure in meeting end-user expectations.
To ensure optimal performance, even under varying load conditions, your existing application must be made robust and reliable. With reliability engineering services you can ensure that your applications are always functional, performant, and available to provide an exceptional user experience.
Reliability Engineering is a set of practices which is applied throughout the product life cycle to ensure product meets the scalability and availability standards. It becomes more relevant as the product enters the scale or growth phase. This practice is applicable to various software components such as (but not limited to) Infrastructure, customer facing websites, Mobile Apps, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), Data Engineering Pipelines, Middleware's, and external integrations.
Reliability engineering is concerned with re-engineering your existing application to improve its performance. Every technology leader these days is concerned about the reliability of the software they own. Below are some key reliability concern areas:
Ever-growing market and ever-increasing customer base causes software components to hit their scalability limits. There is a limit to even amount of duct taping that could be done to an already worn-out product
Excessive time spent on solving availability issues and challenges in maintaining high availability at all times for a high-scale serving product is a huge concern.
Software serviceability poses a huge challenge. The in-ability to diagnose issues quickly and respond fast to product failures, releases, or fixes can be a cause of concern.
Lackluster performance or performance issues during peak load times although the software may be functional, results in poor customer experience.
Inability to identify the usability of a software or product pose a problem, i.e., gauging the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction for an end-user.
If the business goal is to improve the capacity of the system, better the response time, ensure scalability, and increase user interaction; architects, product managers, and the infrastructure team will need to collaborate to improve ease-of-use.
Here is a typical reliability engineering journey:
Identify Key Reliability Concern Areas
Ensure Observability is setup (using various monitoring tools)
Ensure key metrics identified with value ranges identified as Red Zone, Amber Zone and Green Zones
;)
Root Cause Analysis of the Reliability Concern Areas
Continuous Deployment & Improvement
Incremental Deployment and Testing to measure progress
Rapid prototyping of the Solution
Presenting the Solution to fix the concern area
