This book serves as a comprehensive guide for building and scaling robust, agile, and datadriven software platforms. It emphasizes the need for architectures that are both flexible and scalable, balancing performance with cost-efficiency to align with modern business needs.

Using a car-search platform as a running example, the book illustrates practical applications

of concepts, addressing challenges in platform evolution and demonstrating solutions

grounded in real-world scenarios.

The journey from a simple system software application such as a monolithic web application

to a complex, distributed software platform processing petabytes of data extracted from

hundreds of different data sources in real-time is filled with challenges and questions that will

be answered in this book.

Here are just some of those challenges:

• How do you design for scalability and flexibility from day one?

• How do you balance performance and cost, so you don’t burn all your cash on

running the software side of your business?

• What technologies and design patterns will ensure your platform remains relevant

in an ever-changing technological landscape?

• How do you handle vague business requirements and ever changing business

landscape on features and SLAs?
