Who The Book Is For

Over the past decade I've become convinced that architecture is often overlooked in terms of the part it plays in making things like Continuous Delivery possible. To that end I've been looking at different patterns that help teams more easily ship working software, which led me eventually to microservices.

The book covers off multiple aspects of designing distributed systems. As such it should be of value to developers, architects or people who work in operations.

Availability
