Software Architecture

Your first AI integration is usually simple: one provider, one SDK, one model. Then production happens. Costs rise. Rate limits appear. Teams need access control. Security wants API keys centralized. Product wants to test better models. Finance wants to know who is spending what. Suddenly, the real problem is not calling an LLM. The real problem is operating AI as shared infrastructure. The End of AI Vendor Lock-In shows how LiteLLM helps teams build provider-agnostic, resilient, cost-aware AI systems that can route across models, manage fallbacks, track spend, enforce budgets, and reduce dependency on any single provider. If you are building AI products that need to survive real-world production pressure, this book is for you.

Una crónica del Domain-Driven Design desde el modelo anémico de los noventa hasta la práctica contemporánea, con manual y catálogo de cuarenta fichas. Para programadores que quieren aplicar DDD con criterio, no por inercia.

AI writes code faster than you can review it. This book gives you the gates: automated guardrails that catch bugs, enforce standards, and verify behavior before bad code reaches production. Stop being the last line of defense. Build the gates that catch the slop first, so you design and verify instead of proofread.

The chapter that grew into its own book: existential and universal restrictions, the correct VegetarianPizza pattern, and how OWL restrictions become EKA governance.

Denne bog er skrevet til dig der vil bygge professionel C#-software — ikke bare kode der kompilerer, men kode der kan vedligeholdes, testes, skaleres, og forklares for andre.

Most data modelling books teach you the craft. This one teaches you the reality. Seven chapters of honest, practical guidance from real project experience — covering conceptual modelling, governance, enterprise challenges, and the human side of data work that nobody else writes about.

Stop being a 'Syntax Coder' and start becoming a 'Diagnostic Architect' by mastering the hidden mental models of software failure. This book teaches you how to own every logical branch of your system and eliminate bugs before they even happen. Stop guessing and start diagnosing.

If you've ever wondered what the quantum computing stack actually looks like from top to bottom, this is the book.

Exploring Java Libraries: A Developer’s Guide, Volume II is a hands-on guide to Java’s text-processing, desktop GUI, and accessibility libraries. Through practical examples, structured explanations, and real-world coding scenarios, it helps developers move beyond theory and master Java’s AWT, Swing, and java.text ecosystem.

Clean, Hexagonal, Onion—one dependency rule, three names. Walk a runnable multi-module SaaS billing service in Scala 3 and ZIO: a pure domain ring, ports and use cases in the middle, PostgreSQL + Flyway + JDBC and a thin HTTP shell on the outside—with full source in the PDF, not truncated snippets. See how ZLayer at the composition root keeps one repository for the whole graph, how webhook idempotency stays on the right side of the boundary, and how munit and zio-test (plus optional Docker) prove the architecture you intend to defend in code review.

CRUD erases the story your system lived through; event sourcing keeps it. Build an account aggregate in Scala 3 and ZIO: past-tense events, a pure applyEvent fold, decide for invariants and idempotency, then wire an append-only PostgreSQL journal, transactions, and a balance projection—and trace one account from HTTP command to read model. When the log must leave the database, follow the same events through transactional outbox, Kafka, and at-least-once consumers without pretending you have magic consistency. For architects and implementers who want decision-grade ES + CQRS, not a toy demo.

No distributed transaction spans your whole business process—so you design steps and compensations instead. In Scala 3 and ZIO, build a full order-placement saga from domain types and service algebras to orchestration and event-driven choreography, with tests that prove compensations fire when things break. Then see what it takes to move the same design toward production: outbox, idempotency, persistence, and how to choose between central coordination and decentralized reactions.

The best compliment a reader can pay your code is not "this is impressive" — it is "this was exactly what I expected." Beautiful but Boring teaches the discipline of writing Python that earns that compliment: precise naming contracts, type annotations that say what a function actually requires, and a framework for maintaining those standards consistently across a codebase, a team, and a career.

Keyword search misses meaning. Vector search misses precision. This book shows you how to combine them into production systems that deliver both, with architecture patterns, model selection frameworks, evaluation methodology, and operational guidance grounded in primary research.
