  2. System Monitoring
    System Monitoring
    A Refresher
    Sudhanshu Jaiswal

    Production is down. Dashboards look “green.” Users are still complaining. What went wrong?Traditional monitoring often shows what the system is doing, but not what users are experiencing.This guide introduces you to two powerful mental models:RED Metrics → What your users feelUSE Metrics → What your system is doingTogether, they give you a complete picture—because symptoms and root causes are not the same .Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:Detect issues before users report themCorrelate latency spikes with infrastructure saturationMove from metrics chaos to meaningful observabilityDesign monitoring for modern distributed systemsIf you’ve ever:Struggled to debug production issuesFelt overwhelmed by too many metricsWanted a structured monitoring approachThis book is your shortcut to thinking like an SRE and system architect.

  5. Deployment Intelligence
    Deployment Intelligence
    How Engineering Leaders Stop Deploying Blind
    Andrew McCarron

    Every post-mortem starts the same way: "We didn't see it coming." This book argues that's no longer acceptable — and shows you the science behind predicting deployment risk before it becomes an incident.

  6. A OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK
    A OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK
    Notes from the invisible profession
    Barton E Nicholls

    The draft ones were never sent. The post-mortems never said what really happened. The meetings never heard what you actually thought. This is the book that does.

  7. Linux Troubleshooting Strategies
    Linux Troubleshooting Strategies
    Creative Fixes and Workarounds for Common Linux Problems
    Jay LaCroix

    Troubleshooting Linux systems can feel like solving a mystery—but the right strategies make all the difference. This ebook teaches practical techniques, tools, and real-world approaches that help you diagnose problems faster and fix them with confidence.

    A Homelab Guide to Ansible Automation
    Will Smith

    Stop being the on-call engineer for your own house. Build a homelab that monitors, alerts, and fixes itself — entirely managed as code.

  9. The Paved Road
    The Paved Road
    Scaling Engineering Leadership through Platform Engineering and IDPs
    Emeka Mbah

    Your developers are not slow. Your system is full of friction.What if:A new engineer could ship to production on day one?Every service was secure, observable, and compliant by default?Deployments rolled back automatically before customers noticed?Cloud costs were visible at the moment code was written?This is not a tooling problem. It is a platform design problem.The Paved Road shows you how to move from DevOps culture to Platform execution — from heroics to systems, from tickets to self-service, from firefighting to flow.Build the road once. Let everyone move faster forever.

  10. The Adaptable Enterprise
    The Adaptable Enterprise
    Evolutionary Architecture and the Strategic Management of Technical Debt
    Emeka Mbah

    The “perfect architecture” is a myth. The adaptable enterprise wins. Learn how to design evolutionary systems, quantify technical debt, and align engineering with business ROI.

  14. Engineering Software Systems for Scale, Resilience, and Uncertainty

    Growth exposes fragility.The system that works at 10,000 users collapses at 1 million. The deployment process that feels “fine” becomes a liability at scale. The architecture that shipped your MVP becomes the bottleneck for your next market.The question facing modern technical leaders is no longer:“Can we build it?”It is:“Can we scale it, operate it, govern it, and evolve it — without breaking trust, burning out teams, or destroying margins?”This book provides a blueprint for building resilient architectures, high-velocity engineering organizations, and systems designed to survive real-world uncertainty.

  15. Digitale Transformation mit System (Edition 2026)
