About the Book

Scalability isn’t a buzzword—it’s survival. Built to Scale: DevOps for the Real World is your battle-tested playbook for crafting systems that don’t just run but dominate, from cloud spikes to real-world chaos. In 14 chapters, you’ll go from solo coder to DevOps maestro, mastering microservices, CI/CD, chaos engineering, and team sync—while dodging drone wrecks, legal traps, and users who break everything.

This isn’t theory—it’s hands-on grit. Tame traffic with load balancers, keep databases alive under pressure, and debug distributed nightmares with tools like Jaeger. But it’s bigger than tech: You’ll tackle shaky networks, regulatory curveballs, and the human side of scale—because a system’s only as strong as the team behind it. With war stories (like the storm that sank a fleet of drones) and blueprints (build a serverless edge app, anyone?), you’ll learn to scale not just for today but for a legacy that outlives you.

For junior devs dodging prod fires, seniors herding services, or leads wrangling teams, this book’s your coder-to-coder guide—witty, practical, 2025-ready. Built to Scale doesn’t just teach you to handle the chaos—it dares you to own it. Ready to leave a mark? Start here.
