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

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.

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

What does it take to build distributed systems that keep working when things go wrong? Engineering Distributed Systems on the BEAM goes beyond syntax to show how Erlang/OTP turns concurrency, failure and recovery into practical design tools. Build a real system from the ground up, then learn how to scale, deploy and operate it with confidence.

Build distributed systems that keep working when things go wrong. This hands-on guide shows you how to design reliable messaging architectures with Python and RabbitMQ, from core concepts to production-ready patterns. Follow real projects, write practical code and learn how to build scalable services that recover gracefully under load.

This book is a must-have for software developers and architects looking to master software architecture's theoretical and practical aspects. It goes beyond high-level architecture diagrams—offering in-depth explanations of design principles, methodologies, and best practices, accompanied by code samples in multiple programming languages.From UML diagrams and design patterns to microservices implementation and cross-cutting concerns, the book covers the entire spectrum of software architecture. You will explore how to transition from monoliths to microservices, manage scalability and maintainability, and leverage modern AI-driven approaches to software design.Whether a seasoned architect or an aspiring developer, this book provides hands-on knowledge with practical code implementations, ensuring you can confidently apply architectural concepts to real-world projects.As AI writes more code, knowing how to instruct it is essential! You must master software architecture to stay ahead!

Learn how to design systems at scale and prepare for system design interviews

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.

Go services often fail in production for boring reasons: weak probe semantics, missing timeout budgets, unsafe retries, noisy telemetry, and rollout settings that look fine until traffic spikes. Go Apps on Kubernetes is a practical pocketbook for engineers who ship and run Go microservices on K8s. It gives you concise, production-focused guidance you can apply immediately: health/readiness contracts, graceful shutdown and draining, retry/backoff patterns, observability defaults (metrics, logs, traces), security hardening baselines, and deployment/autoscaling templates. No theory dump, no platform-admin detours. Just reusable patterns and incident-oriented checklists to help your services start cleanly, degrade predictably, and recover fast.

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.

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!

Looking for microservices but without the complexity of Saga or eventual consistency? This book is for you!

When critical infrastructure degrades, customer-facing applications continue blindly routing users into broken flows because modern architectures lack a dedicated layer for runtime coordination. This book introduces the Operational State Control Plane (OSCP)-formalizing the contracts, distribution mechanics, and zero-network resilience required to govern multi-surface application behavior during active incidents. A practical blueprint for platform architects, principal engineers, and SRE leaders running distributed production estates.

Build real-time data systems that can keep up with the demands of production. Streaming at Scale takes you under the hood of Apache Flink, covering state, event time, exactly-once processing, performance, Kubernetes and more. With runnable examples and practical lessons, it shows how to build systems that are fast, reliable and ready to scale.
