Distributed Systems

Build reliable distributed systems with Spring Boot, RabbitMQ and modern Java. Follow OrderFlow as it grows from a simple service into a production-ready event-driven platform, exploring architecture, messaging, observability, containers and the practical trade-offs behind every design decision.

When critical infrastructure degrades, customer-facing applications continue blindly routing users into broken flows because modern architectures lack a dedicated layer for runtime coordination. This book introduces the Operational State Control Plane (OSCP)-formalizing the contracts, distribution mechanics, and zero-network resilience required to govern multi-surface application behavior during active incidents. A practical blueprint for platform architects, principal engineers, and SRE leaders running distributed production estates.

Build real-time data systems that can keep up with the demands of production. Streaming at Scale takes you under the hood of Apache Flink, covering state, event time, exactly-once processing, performance, Kubernetes and more. With runnable examples and practical lessons, it shows how to build systems that are fast, reliable and ready to scale.

A practical look at how the modern Internet edge really works. Explore DNS, BGP, TLS, HTTP/3 and the architecture behind content delivery, then apply that knowledge to building, securing and optimizing Cloudflare in production. No marketing fluff, just the engineering behind the edge.

AI can write code at machine speed. Can your architecture keep up? Architecture at Machine Speed shows how to build Go systems that remain coherent as humans and AI agents change them at unprecedented velocity. Through a real-world application built from the ground up, you'll learn to turn architectural intent into explicit boundaries, enforceable constraints, and automated safeguards—because when code becomes abundant, coherence becomes the scarce resource.

From containers and Kubernetes to autoscaling, observability, Prometheus, Grafana, SLOs, security, and production failure. Volume III shows how distributed architecture becomes an operable, measurable, evidence-driven production system.

What does it take to build distributed systems that keep working when things go wrong? Engineering Distributed Systems on the BEAM goes beyond syntax to show how Erlang/OTP turns concurrency, failure and recovery into practical design tools. Build a real system from the ground up, then learn how to scale, deploy and operate it with confidence.

Microservices aren't built with boxes on a diagram—they're built with owned truth, stable contracts, idempotent messages, and controlled failure.

Distributed systems can feel overwhelming until you build one yourself. This book takes you from core networking and concurrency concepts to a complete production-ready platform in Go. Every chapter adds real working code so you learn not just the theory but how reliable systems are built and run at scale.

Scaling isn't just about handling more traffic. The Scalable SaaS Architecture Handbook shows you how to design SaaS systems that remain reliable, maintainable, and efficient as they grow, using proven patterns and real-world lessons.

Another Production Field Manual: protect APIs before overload becomes an outage with rate limiting, throttling, and tenant fairness.

Learn how to stop retry storms, contain dependency failures, and make resilient microservice calls observable, bounded, and production-ready.

Polymorph Data Encoding (PDE) is a versatile, compact and fast to read and write binary data encoding. PDE offers features not currently found in any other binary data format, such as tabular data structures, compact tree structures via tables nested inside tables, cyclic object graphs, arbitrary hierarchical navigation etc.

Prepare for Kubernetes platform engineering interviews like a Staff Engineer. Learn how controllers, informers, syncers, finalizers, API scalability and multi-tenancy behave in real systems, then put it all into practice with a hands-on workspace-syncer capstone project. A practical guide to reasoning, designing, debugging, and explaining Kubernetes control-plane systems.
