Observability

Take OpenTelemetry from theory to production. This practical guide shows you how to design, deploy and operate observability at scale, with real configurations, proven architecture patterns and hands-on guidance for performance, security, troubleshooting and cost. Built for engineers who need telemetry that works when it matters.

Discover how eBPF is changing Linux systems engineering. Starting with the fundamentals, this book walks you through building, debugging and deploying real eBPF programs for observability, networking, security and performance. Learn practical techniques you can use with confidence in production across modern Linux environments.

Most writing about AI and infrastructure stops at the demo. This book starts on the day the model is confidently wrong at 3 a.m. and an auditor asks who authorised the action it took. Seven working labs — MCP servers with real identity and audit, closed-loop remediation behind a reversibility gate, and autonomy that can be revoked — for platform engineers in safety-critical and regulated industries.
