Software Architecture

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

Thirty-eight conversations from Dave Farley's Engineering Room podcast, now in book form. Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Jez Humble, Nicole Forsgren, Eric Evans, Kelsey Hightower and many more talk candidly about what it really takes to build great software.

The first book to combine Eventmodeling & Eventsourcing to plan software systems of any size and complexity. NEW CHAPTER "Dynamic Consistency Boundary" COMPANION ONLINE COURSE FOR FASTER LEARNING

Vector stores don't think — they search. They find fragments that sound like your query, then forget they ever looked. Every session starts from nothing. Every context window is a memory that dissolves at sunset.But the deeper problem isn't amnesia. It's that when agents do remember, they remember in someone else's house — on servers you don't control, in formats you can't inspect, under terms you didn't write.Memory Graph is a book about building something different: persistent, structured, queryable memory that lives inside your application — no external servers, no data leaving your process, no infrastructure you don't own. An embedded graph database that travels with your agent the way a nervous system travels with a body.You'll learn how to model not just facts, but relationships between facts. Causality. Temporal ordering. The layered structure of meaning that makes memory more than a search index. You'll build ontologies that enforce what can be known and how. You'll combine graph traversal with semantic search — so your agents find not just what's similar, but what's connected.The result is an agent that remembers the way you do: structurally, contextually, privately — with memory that belongs to you.

Build financial systems that stay correct when requests repeat, events arrive late, and services fail. Learn practical patterns for money modeling, double-entry ledgers, idempotency, reconciliation, auditability, security, and invariant-driven testing—so every balance and transaction can be explained and trusted.

A scenario-based study guide for the Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCAR-F) exam. Learn to reason like an architect across all five domains, then prove it on two full practice exams.

You know how to build frontend applications. But can you explain how you would design one when the requirements are vague, the constraints keep changing, and you only have 45 minutes?Frontend System Design Interviews gives you a practical framework for structuring that conversation, making trade-offs, and going deep on the problems that actually change the architecture.

Чому проєкт-цукерочка через рік перетворюється на непідтримуване пекло? Тому що вас ніколи не вчили базі. Ця книга — єдина система координат, яка нарешті збере ваші розрізнені знання про ООП, GRASP, SOLID та GoF в одну цілісну картину.

In a galaxy not so far, far away… You have just received a set of requirements—or desires disguised as requirements—wild needs or want statements vaguely describing some notion of what the system should do. Now what? Where do you start with the specifications? Rule One: Don’t Panic, and reach for Engineering on Purpose!

Master Domain-Driven Design Tactical patterns: Entities, Value Objects, Services, Domain Events, Aggregates, Factories, Repositories and Application Services; with real examples in PHP. Explore the advantages of Hexagonal Architecture and understand Strategic design with Bounded Contexts and their integration through REST and message queues.

A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.

Master SysML v2 from the ground up with a clear, practical guide that bridges theory and real engineering. Explore the language, its formal foundations and proven modeling techniques through hands-on examples and industry case studies across aerospace, robotics, medical devices, telecommunications and more.

Modern cloud-native applications generate massive volumes of telemetry data, making observability increasingly expensive and difficult to scale. While OpenTelemetry has become the industry standard for distributed tracing, traditional tail-based sampling architectures often require stateful collector clusters with significant memory and processing overhead. Rethinking OpenTelemetry Tail-Based Sampling explores how Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) and event mesh technologies can be used to address these challenges. Through practical examples, architectural analysis, and implementation considerations, this book examines OpenTelemetry sampling strategies and presents an alternative approach that externalizes trace buffering and sampling coordination beyond the collector layer. Whether you are an observability engineer, platform architect, integration specialist, SRE, or cloud-native practitioner, this book provides practical guidance for designing scalable, resilient, and cost-effective distributed tracing platforms.
