Books

  1. Mastering Elasticsearch
    Mastering Elasticsearch
    A Complete Guide from Fundamentals to Production Mastery
    Steve Publications

    Mastering Elasticsearch is a hands-on guide to building fast, scalable search and analytics systems. It covers core concepts, index design, Query DSL, relevance tuning, vector search, and production operations with practical examples in Python, Java, JavaScript, and REST.

  2. Architecting Agentic Systems
    Architecting Agentic Systems
    Engineering Dependable AI Agents
    Damian Beresford

    You shipped the demo. The model worked. Now production is coming, and the demo is not a system. An agentic system is a distributed-systems engineering problem — the reliability lives in the shell, not the model.

  3. El libro de la Web3
    El libro de la Web3
    Cómo entender la próxima era de internet
    Bruno Galvao

    Todos hemos oído hablar de la Web3, de las criptomonedas, de las cadenas de bloques (blockchains), de los NFT y de las DAO. Casi nadie sabe decir, con claridad, qué **es** en realidad cada una de esas cosas, ni si se trata del futuro de internet o de una manera elaborada de perder dinero. **El libro de la Web3** por fin le da una respuesta directa.

  4. Spark 4.0 from Scratch
    Spark 4.0 from Scratch
    Foundations: From Your First DataFrame to Production-Ready Joins and Aggregations
    Ritesh Modi

    PySpark from page one. Ten chapters that take a Python user who knows pandas and turn them into someone who can write, read, and debug production PySpark, without a three-chapter detour through distributed-computing theory.

  5. Polymorph Data Language
    Polymorph Data Language
    The Versatile, Compact, Fast Alternative to JSON, YAML, XML, CSV etc.
    Jakob Jenkov

    The Polymorph Data Language (PDL) is a versatile, compact and fast alternative to JSON, YAML, XML and CSV. PDL supports streams of fields, objects, compact objects, cyclic object graphs, tabular data, table trees, and custom instructions. PDL supports this with a syntax that is simple to tokenize and parse and which gives good performance during tokenization and parsing. PDL's custom instructions can be used to implement a whole Scheme-like programming language, should you want to.

  6. Architecting the End of Chaos
    Architecting the End of Chaos
    Mastering Complexity through Distributed Hive Governance
    Mickael Lamare

    A governance framework for taming complexity in distributed systems. From solo platforms to AI agents.

  7. Go Apps on Kubernetes
    Go Apps on Kubernetes
    Production Best Practices
    Luca Sepe

    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.

  8. THE GLOBAL DATA WAR
    THE GLOBAL DATA WAR
    Artificial Intelligence, Big Tech, and the Race for Data, Chips, and Cloud
    Nilesh Shantaram Devlekar

    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.

  9. The Adaptable Enterprise
    The Adaptable Enterprise
    Evolutionary Architecture and the Strategic Management of Technical Debt
    Emeka Mbah

    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.

  10. The Distributed Blueprint
    The Distributed Blueprint
    Mastering Microservices, Gateways, and Service Meshes
    Johnson Okoli

    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.

  11. The Highway Path to Scalable Systems
    The Highway Path to Scalable Systems
    A Comprehensive Guide to Architectural Decisions, Principles, and Real-World Case Studies
    Mohamed Sweelam

    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.

  12. OpenTelemetry Cookbook
    OpenTelemetry Cookbook
    Proven approaches for real-time monitoring and observability on cloud, AI, and modern infrastructures
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    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.

  13. The Scaling Playbook

    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.

  14. You Don't Know JSON
    You Don't Know JSON
    Beyond Six Data Types: The Complete Ecosystem
    Dayna Blackwell

    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.

  15. System Design Mastery - AI Agents and Agentic Systems
