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

When your database outgrows simple optimizations, it's time to think bigger. Lift the Elephant goes beyond query tuning to reveal actionable strategies for scaling PostgreSQL, from partitioning to high-availability architectures. Built on lessons from scaling Hubstaff, this is your playbook for navigating the challenges of database growth.

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.

A pattern language for event sourced applications and reliable distributed systems. Examples are written in the Python programming language. Now includes event-oriented introductions to the pattern language scheme of Christopher Alexander, the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and the person-centred psychology of Rogers and Rosenberg.

Get onboard this journey into the land of streams. This is a complete hands-on book about Apache Flink, that follows real-life use cases and will help you learn how to create scalable end-to-end stream processing pipelines.

This book provides an introduction to the high-level concepts behind query engines and walks through all aspects of building a fully working SQL query engine in Kotlin.

The Scaling Playbook From WordPress to 1 million orders. One company's 5-year journey through every scaling decision, mistake, and hard-won principle. No code. No fluff. Just architecture thinking.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are fascinating! P2P networks can scale to thousands, millions or even billions of individual peers collaborating without a central, coordinating entity. These peers can be run by individuals or organizations - each contributing resources towards the total capacity of the network. This book explores how!

Artificial Intelligence has become the new global power race. Nations are competing for data, infrastructure, and algorithmic dominance that will define the future world order.

The “perfect architecture” is a myth. The adaptable enterprise wins. Learn how to design evolutionary systems, quantify technical debt, and align engineering with business ROI.

Design resilient, production-ready microservices architectures with confidence. Learn how API gateways, service meshes, and observability tools work together to build scalable and secure distributed systems.

Architecture. Teams. Business. Aligned. Finally, a guide that connects the dots. From Team Topologies to Flexible Project Management, learn how to build systems that align with your business goals instead of fighting against them. Stop estimating and start engineering your path to confidence.

By the time you finish this book, you should be able to make your systems observable across microservices, AI workloads, security monitoring, and hybrid cloud infrastructure. This book will help you learn how to effectively instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to analyze your software’s performance and behavior.

JSON succeeded not because it was better--XML had schemas, namespaces, and 10 years of tooling, but because it understood modularity in ways XML never could. This book deconstructs how a deliberately incomplete format defeated a comprehensive standard, then shows you the production patterns (JSON Schema, JSONB, MessagePack, versioning strategies) that make JSON systems scale from prototype to billions of requests.
