You're responsible for a revenue-generating website. There are hundreds of experts giving you advice and pulling you in different directions. Wouldn't it be nice to have a way to just step back and understand the big picture?

Web Reliability is an overarching structure for thinking about a web property. It serves as an organizing principle and a roadmap, a meaningful tool to help owners of web properties keep track of how well they are – or aren’t - delivering on promises to their customers.
