Enterprise Architecture

Doing Cloud is easy. Doing it right is hard. The difficulty appears to be a problem of choice, but behind every Cloud success or failure story, there's always just one reason - cost. This book offers a framework, rooted in understanding Cloud's nature, for applying that understanding to the many shapes cost takes.

Developer platforms promise to rewrite the laws of IT physics: they boost innovation through standards; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. Building such an in-house platform, or even deploying one, is far from easy, though. This book condenses a decade of building and rolling out platforms into practical advice for platform teams and users.5300+ happy readers! Also as Paperback edition

We will define the developer contract first, and we will then build the platform underneath it together, step by step, using decisions that hold up in regulated environments and in small startups alike. Along the way, we will provision clusters, wire delivery, publish a developer API, enforce policy and ship observability, and we will do all of it where you can see every command, every manifest and every failure. Nothing here stays theoretical, because platform problems only show their true shape where an abstraction meets a real cluster.

Building an impressive AI agent demo is easy. Running one in production—reliably, at scale, with governance—is where most enterprises get stuck. Agentic Orchestration shows how BPMN-based process orchestration governs AI agents at scale, drawing on real deployments across banking, telecom, and healthcare. Reasoning without orchestration is expensive chaos. This book shows the way out.

Structure decays because it is expensive. This book shows how to make it cheap enough to keep: models as text, telemetry kept as a model, and no infrastructure beyond a JDK.

Diagrams people draw and programs read: how much structure a diagram should carry, and a Java API that reads, changes and renders Draw.io documents with Draw.io's own viewer.

Digitale Transformation war das Hype-Thema vor KI. Es gibt allerdings einen nicht geringen Anteil an Fach- und Führungskräften, deren Wissen darüber weiter ausbaufähig ist. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung für alle diejenigen, die keine "digitalen Pioniere" sind, sondern wissen wollen, was aus dem Thema Digitalisierung auf sie zukommen kann und aus dem Thema KI zusätzlich auf sie zukommen wird.
