Most self-hosted LLM deployments run at 10–30% utilization — full retail price for GPUs that mostly sit idle. Tokens per Dollar is a deliberately short field guide for platform engineers: tune vLLM (2–4x throughput on the same hardware), quantize to halve your GPU count, cache the prompt tokens you keep re-paying for, and autoscale on real token traffic instead of CPU. Working YAML throughout, and a case study that cuts a 70B deployment from $29,200 to $8,600 a month with better latency. Read it in an evening; it pays for itself the first day you apply it.

L'IA va-t-elle nous libérer ou nous détruire ? Ni l'un ni l'autre c'est un outil, et tout dépend de l'usage que nous en ferons. Un guide clair et concret pour comprendre la technologie qui transforme notre époque, et décider de la place que nous voulons y occuper surtout en Afrique.

PostgreSQL Under Load shows what really happens when production gets busy. Learn how connections, transactions, MVCC, locks, WAL and autovacuum interact under pressure, then use that knowledge to diagnose incidents, tune PostgreSQL and build systems that stay reliable when concurrency spikes.

When the eclipse arrives, the past refuses to stay buried. One discovery. One forgotten truth. And a journey that will change everything. Some goodbyes are written long before we say them.

Learn how DDoS and DrDoS attacks overwhelm servers, networks, and online services and how defenders can detect, mitigate, and respond to them.This book covers attack types, reflection and amplification techniques, traffic analysis, monitoring, mitigation methods, security tools, incident response, and practical steps for improving network resilience.A focused guide for anyone who wants to understand DDoS threats and build stronger defenses.

A practical reference for securing real-world OT, ICS and SCADA environments.Roadmap for engineers, CISOs, and consultants to master industrial cybersecurity. Learn to secure ICS, SCADA, and Industry 4.0 environments, apply IEC 62443 & NIS 2, and build robust defense-in-depth architectures—from real-world attack analysis to practical incident response.

"In the city of Cloudville, every connection has a cost—but not every cost is necessary.What if the ‘enterprise-grade’ solution you’re using is actually overkill? What if you could slash costs by 100%, cut latency by 57%, and simplify your architecture by 65%—just by choosing the right private connectivity method in Google Cloud?The Tale of Two Neighborhoods uncovers the hidden trade-offs between Private Service Connect (PSC) and Private Network Access (PNA)—and why most teams are paying for a ‘gated courier service’ when they only need a ‘shared hallway’.

What if your browser could run AI without sending your data to a server? AI in the Browser shows you how to build fast, private and fully local AI applications using WebGPU, WebAssembly and on-device LLMs. From GPU compute to a complete local chat interface, you’ll build everything yourself with practical code.

A practical collection of engineering problems for learning, practice, revision, and problem-solving.Strengthen your engineering fundamentals through a wide variety of problems designed to connect theory with practical application. Ideal for engineering students, teachers, and anyone looking for additional practice and reference material.

Somewhere there is a server with two GPUs for which no operational process exists. This book turns that into an operable platform — hands-on, in 23 labs: vLLM, KServe, LiteLLM, the NVIDIA GPU Operator, Keycloak, OpenBao, ArgoCD, pgvector. At the end your developers write code with local and external models through a governed gateway.

A clean, cinematic journaling system designed to help you capture the moments that matter — in two minutes a day. Four frames: Morning, Evening, Weekly, Monthly.

What happens when Lean Six Sigma meets software development? This practical guide shows engineering leaders and teams how to improve quality, flow and performance without losing sight of how software actually gets built. From Agile and DevOps to metrics and continuous improvement, learn what works, what doesn't and how to make change stick.

Migrating from JDK 8 to a modern Java release crosses years of platform change, and the hardest failures are not always the ones that stop your application. This practical guide shows you how to find what will break, understand why, and fix it systematically using real tools, reproducible examples, and a failure catalogue built around the problems Java teams actually hit.

AI is changing how people discover information, products and businesses. The AEO Playbook shows you how to get found, understood, cited and recommended by AI. From practical tactics to technical implementation, it gives you the frameworks and tools to stay visible as search evolves.

AI can produce more work in less time. Making that work reliable takes discipline. Disciplined AI Development explores how to build workflows that combine AI capabilities with human judgment, clear boundaries, and rigorous verification.
