Great execution doesn't create scale. Category creation does.Designing for Scale is for Product Managers, founders and builders who are done optimising incremental gains and ready to design systems that compound. Drawing from real-world experience across emerging and mature markets, this book breaks down how products move from 0 → 1 and then from 1 → 100M by fusing product, business model and distribution.This is not a playbook for fast followers. It is for people who want to define what comes next.

JSON succeeded not because it was better--XML had schemas, namespaces, and 10 years of tooling, but because it understood modularity in ways XML never could. This book deconstructs how a deliberately incomplete format defeated a comprehensive standard, then shows you the production patterns (JSON Schema, JSONB, MessagePack, versioning strategies) that make JSON systems scale from prototype to billions of requests.

140 Tips for Clean Code distills 140 practical, field-tested tips for writing clean, readable, and maintainable code.

Pare de copiar padrões de design sem entender os problemas que os criaram. A arquitetura da Netflix não foi desenhada em um quadro branco; ela foi forjada por falhas críticas. Neste livro, mergulhamos nos bastidores técnicos da maior plataforma de streaming do mundo para entender os trade-offs reais por trás dos microsserviços, da resiliência e da escala global. Fugindo do "hype" e focando na engenharia, BehindTheStack disseca como o monólito foi quebrado, como a persistência de dados evoluiu e como a cultura de liberdade e responsabilidade moldou o código. Escrito para Arquitetos, Tech Leads e Engenheiros Sêniores que buscam profundidade além dos tutoriais rasos. Adquira a versão Early Access e acompanhe a escrita deste manual de sobrevivência em escala.
