The Distributed Blueprint is a practical guide to designing and operating modern distributed systems.

Starting from the shift away from monolithic architectures, the book explains how to define service boundaries, choose the right communication patterns, and manage the trade-offs of microservices.

It then explores API gateways, security with JWT and OAuth2, and high-availability edge design. Inside the cluster, you’ll learn how service meshes like Istio handle traffic management, observability, and zero-trust security using mTLS.

The book also covers distributed tracing, monitoring with the Golden Signals, chaos engineering, and emerging trends such as serverless microservices and ambient mesh.

Each chapter includes an architect’s checklist, hands-on configuration examples, and practical failure-mode insights to help you design resilient, production-ready systems.
