“Happily purchased. Handy to have these in one place. Thank you!” — Kent Beck “Excellent new thinking on Domain-Driven Design. It's full of real practical experience in getting the most value from domain modelling. Just like the Eric Evans' DDD book, this gives more insight each time you read it.” — Ian Russell

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.

APIs are the foundation of modern software and one of its most critical attack surfaces. API Security: A Definitive Reference for Building Secure APIs at Scale shows you how to build APIs that are secure by design, resilient under attack, and ready for production.

Most asyncio tutorials introduce async and await on page one and ask you to take the runtime on faith. This book does it the other way around. You build a working event loop in thirty lines of plain Python — no asyncio import — and meet the keywords as labels for parts of a runtime you have already watched run. By the end, async Python stops being intimidating and starts being readable.

Because artificial intelligence generates code in seconds today software engineering matters more than ever. Successful software developers must document system structure, data flow, security boundaries to manage long-term maintainability. Without a clear, thoughtful design framework, AI simply helps teams build a faster, more complex maze of technical debt.

Master Kong API Gateway with a practical guide that takes you from core architecture to advanced AI-powered API management. Learn to build secure, scalable platforms with production-ready examples, explore Kubernetes, decK and Terraform workflows, and discover how Kong AI Gateway enables intelligent LLM routing, semantic caching, guardrails and cost optimization across modern AI applications.

Apache APISIX is redefining what an API gateway can do in the age of AI. This hands-on guide takes you from the fundamentals to production-ready deployments, showing you how to build secure, scalable, and intelligent gateways for APIs, microservices and AI applications. With practical examples, you will gain the skills to confidently deploy, manage and optimize modern API infrastructure.

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.

Every web application has security headers, cookies, TLS configurations, and CORS policies that need to be correct. Most teams find out they're wrong only after a penetration test — or worse, after an incident. This book shows you how to build a scanner that catches these issues automatically. You'll create a Python CLI tool that uses Hurl (declarative HTTP testing) to assert security properties, SSLyze to validate TLS protocol versions, and AI to generate specific remediation for every failure it finds. The output: structured JSON reports, visual HTML dashboards, and AI-generated security posture assessments. **What you'll build:** - 9 declarative Hurl security test files (headers, cookies, CORS, HSTS, CSP, CSRF, redirects, TLS) - A preprocessor that handles domain substitution and authentication - An output parser with built-in remediation guidance for every test - A TLS scanner validating SSL 2.0/3.0 disabled and TLS 1.2/1.3 enabled - An AI analyzer that generates context-specific fixes using Ollama, OpenAI, or Bedrock - An HTML reporter with dark-themed visual dashboards - Docker multi-architecture deployment - CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions **Who this is for:** - Developers who want security checks before deploying - DevSecOps engineers building CI/CD security gates - Penetration testers who need quick baseline assessments - Security students learning web vulnerability concepts hands-on - Platform teams enforcing security standards across services Every failure includes: what was expected, what was received, why it matters, how to fix it, and a documentation link. AI adds domain-specific code examples on top.

Software and infrastructure only create value when they pull in the same direction as the business. This book shows IT leaders how to get there: from shaping IT strategy and the architecture roadmap to the daily discipline of IT and architecture governance, all built on a pattern-based approach that adapts to your organization rather than forcing it into a template.Grounded in established frameworks such as TOGAF, COBIT, and ITIL, it pairs solid fundamentals with numerous real-world examples — and gives growing weight to compliance and IT security, now central concerns of any IT management agenda.This English edition is based on the German standard work on the subject, fully revised in its 4th edition (late 2024). It is current with TOGAF 10 and reflects recent developments in business-oriented enterprise architecture — including the open-source tool EDGY and patterns for digital strategy — alongside the latest trends in IT risk management and cybersecurity architecture.

This Developer's Guide is the "Project #1" from the also included "Building Role-Playing Browser Games" workbook. It leads you through the development of the "St. George Battles the Dragons" Role-Playing Game in both Construct v3 & v2 encoding. It's perfect for novices, experienced web developers, and anyone wanting their own bespoke game, artwork, and features.

What you've got here is a hands-on walkthrough of Spring Boot 4.0, where we'll build a single application from start to finish, using the command line and then packaging it as a JAR at the end. Each chapter adds one real capability, like a REST endpoint, a database, an error handler, a security layer or a test suite. Each chapter gets straight into the code, and you can run, modify and break it to see what happens.There's even a dedicated troubleshooting chapter at the end that deals with the exact errors beginners actually encounter in practice, not just hypothetical ones.

As the author, I (Anshuman Mishra) have written this book with the spirit of mentorship — not just to explain how chatbots work, but to help you build one confidently and ethically. I have taught AI, programming, and computer science for nearly two decades, and I have seen countless students struggle to bridge the gap between theory and implementation.This book closes that gap. It teaches you what to do, why to do it, and how to do it right. It’s not just a manual — it’s a journey from curiosity to mastery.You are not just learning to build a chatbot; you are learning to create intelligence — responsibly, creatively, and with purpose.
