RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

The availability of cloud services is a critical factor in the success of digital products. Downtime in essential systems—whether for fintech platforms or major online retailers—can lead to substantial financial losses and reputational damage. Meanwhile, modern cloud infrastructures continue to grow in complexity. Distributed architectures, automated scaling, and frequent software releases all increase the risk of system failures.

In this dynamic environment, companies are actively seeking strategies to minimize incidents and mitigate their impact. One of the most effective approaches is Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)—a discipline pioneered at Google that combines engineering best practices with operational processes to enhance the reliability and resilience of cloud services.

This article examines how Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles address the challenges of maintaining cloud services availability. Alexandr Hacicheant, Head of Reliability Engineering at Mayflower, provides an analysis of key issues in this field, the core methodologies of SRE, and real-world applications that contribute to minimizing downtime.
