  1. Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    A comprehensive guide to building, deploying, and scaling resilient distributed systems with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
    Enrique Medina Montenegro

    Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

  2. Clean Code Principles and Patterns, 2nd Edition
    A Software Practitioner's Handbook

    One of the most comprehensive no-fluff guides for software developers to help them write clean code every day. The book is packed with principles and patterns that help developers, from novices and juniors to seniors and experts, to write cleaner code.

  3. Implementing Linkerd Service Mesh
    Add Observability, Load Balancing, Micro Proxies, Traffic Split and Multi-Cluster Communication to Kubernetes
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    Cloud computing and network administration have gone a long way, and I am both excited and amazed by this fact as I sit down to write this book. This book is my attempt to explain the world of service meshes with a deep dive into Linkerd in the possible smallest book size, and is the result of countless hours spent in demystifying complex systems.

  4. RESTful Dictionary
    English - HTTP
