This repository provides a structured, concept-driven roadmap for aspiring Site Reliability Engineers (SREs). It prioritizes understanding fundamental distributed systems principles over specific tooling, aiming to build a robust theoretical foundation for effective SRE practice.

How It Works

The roadmap is organized thematically, covering core SRE concepts from distributed systems and data storage to reliability, scalability, observability, and incident management. It emphasizes understanding the "why" behind SRE practices by detailing trade-offs, common pitfalls, and theoretical underpinnings, such as the CAP theorem or the CALM principle.

Quick Start & Requirements

No installation or specific software is required. This is a curated list of topics and concepts for self-study.

Highlighted Details

• Comprehensive coverage of distributed systems concepts, including consensus, replication, and consistency models.
• Detailed sections on observability, alerting strategies, and rollout patterns.
• Explores crucial reliability concepts like blast radius, failure domains, and fault tolerance.
• Includes essential soft skills and problem-solving techniques vital for SRE roles.

Maintenance & Community

This is a static roadmap; there are no active maintenance or community channels linked in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository is licensed under the MIT License, permitting commercial use and modification.

Limitations & Caveats

The roadmap is explicitly "opinionated" and concept-focused, meaning it does not provide practical, hands-on guidance with specific tools or technologies, which may be necessary for immediate job readiness.
