Stop copying design patterns without understanding the problems that created them.Netflix’s architecture wasn't drawn on a pristine whiteboard; it was forged by critical failures. In this book, we dive into the technical backstage of the world's largest streaming platform to understand the real trade-offs behind microservices, resilience, and global scale.Avoiding the hype and focusing purely on engineering, BehindTheStack dissects how the monolith was shattered, how data persistence evolved, and how a culture of freedom and responsibility shaped the code.Written for Architects, Tech Leads, and Senior Engineers who demand depth beyond shallow tutorials. Grab the Early Access version and follow the making of this scale survival manual.

Turn your AI application into a scalable, revenue-generating machine. Master complex usage-based billing, per-token pricing, and advanced Stripe workflows. Architect secure API systems and automate global compliance with AI-powered support. The definitive blueprint for engineering a robust monetization engine that scales.

Das Buch behandelt alle Themen des aktuellen CISSP-Prüfungslehrplans in einem Format, das es ermöglicht, spezifische Prüfungsdomänen und Konzepte auf einen Blick zu vertiefen, wodurch es sich zu einer unverzichtbaren Prüfungsressource für alle entwickelt, die sich ohne Zeit- und Geldverschwendung auf die Prüfung vorbereiten möchten.

If you're a developer looking for a foothold into the cloud, this book is for you. The Pulumi Book will teach you all there is to know about Pulumi, the open-source platform that lets you build and manage cloud-based applications and infrastructure with modern programming languages and tools like TypeScript, Node.js, and Visual Studio Code.

This is a book aimed to help programmers of all levels and languages to start learning Test Driven Development step by step

Pycairo is a great library for creating high quality vector graphics in Python. This book covers the full features of the library in detail, with practical code examples and illustrations, from an author with many years experience in computer graphics software.

Common Lisp is a great language for both small and large projects. Here we use small complete Common Lisp scripts to solve practical problems, and dear reader, hopefully have fun!

UPDATE: Please don't pay for this!! It's free. Please just take it for free. I'd much rather give it away. Even when it's done, it'll still be free. I'm 100% NOT trying to make money on this. Tell your friends, and be sure to read it. Your applications lives and runs in more places - MCP, desktop applications, browser-based application, data integration pipelines, gRPC, browsers, etc. - than ever. Can your security framework keep up? If you're using Spring Security, then it definitely can, and this book - by Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long - will show you how.

Your use cases have a new reader: an AI agent that turns them directly into code and tests. Implementation is now cheap but expressing intent precisely is the bottleneck. This guide teaches you to write use cases that work for stakeholders, engineers, and the AI agents that implement from them.

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.

Most Zephyr tutorials stop at blinking an LED. This one doesn't. In 24 days you'll write a real accelerometer driver, stream CBOR-encoded sensor data over USB, define your own PCB board target, and put the processor into sub-µA sleep. Every day builds something that runs on real hardware.

A practical, no-nonsense guide to product analytics for people who don’t have time for theory. Learn the metrics that actually matter when building, growing, and optimising digital products.

When a license renewal lands at 567% of last year's bill, renting your infrastructure stops being a strategy. This is the escape tunnel: a complete production build of Apache CloudStack 4.22 LTS — KVM, Ceph, OS10 leaf-spine — across a three-city UK estate, written by an engineer with 32 years of building the real thing. Own your cloud down to the last packet.

A practical interview reference covering Modern C++ language features, STL usage, concurrency, and performance (553 manuscript pages).

STOP building fragile AI wrappers. START designing resilient AI systems. Lots of companies are trying to make their small AI experiments into big products, but they don't have a good plan. Engineers need a practical guide to build these new AI systems the right way - so they can handle scale, be reliable, and won't cost too much. This book is that guide. It explains how to design systems that use AI models. This book breaks down the architecture of real AI applications, like an AI-powered code editor or a smart learning app. It gives you a deep, practical look at the real-world challenges and solutions for building these systems. It discusses system design concepts for systems that use LLMs.
