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

Build a cloud-native distributed system in Go with authentication, databases, Kafka, gRPC, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing. Each chapter teaches a pattern and extracts it into a reusable platform SDK. By the final chapter, you'll have six deployable services, a complete platform SDK, and the patterns to build the next one faster.

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.

Dies ist die top-aktuelle Version 14.9 dieses Fachbuchs vom 16.10.2026 auf dem Stand Entity Framework Core 10.0.13.

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.

System Design Workbook – Edição 2026 é uma obra que traduz, organiza e conecta os principais fundamentos da engenharia de sistemas distribuídos sob uma perspectiva prática, moderna e orientada à realidade de produção.

Another Production Field Manual: protect APIs before overload becomes an outage with rate limiting, throttling, and tenant fairness.

Master distributed systems through visual diagrams — from clock drift and CAP to Paxos, Raft, and distributed transactions, explained with clear illustrations instead of dense academic papers.

Happy-path architecture is a myth. When downstream dependencies degrade, naive retries trigger thundering herds, thread pools exhaust in seconds, and dual-writes silently corrupt financial balances. Surviving Distributed Systems is an unvarnished, production-tested field guide for senior backend engineers. Packed with architectural diagrams and modern Java 21 code, this book teaches you how to design, isolate, and harden high-concurrency systems so they survive catastrophic cascading failures.

What if your software did not need the cloud to work? Local First Software Development shows you how to build fast, reliable apps that work offline and sync when needed. Learn practical patterns for data, security and synchronization while exploring how local-first systems can grow from simple personal tools into large collaborative applications.

Micro platform architecture is a software architecture style that turns your software into a micro platform. Turning your software into a micro platform gives the users of your software greater flexibility in how they interact with your software. Your software could become simpler too – and the interaction with your software could become faster. There are other benefits to micro platform architecture too.

Stop fighting the infrastructure and start building the future. Building Software Platforms shows you how to transform raw cloud complexity into a seamless internal product. Learn the architectural blueprints and strategic plays to build a platform that gets out of the way, turning your developers from 'troubleshooters' into creative problem solvers.

Understand CQRS through visual explanations of commands, queries, models, consistency, messaging, and reliable system design.

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.

Polymorph Data Encoding (PDE) is a versatile, compact and fast to read and write binary data encoding. PDE offers features not currently found in any other binary data format, such as tabular data structures, compact tree structures via tables nested inside tables, cyclic object graphs, arbitrary hierarchical navigation etc.
