A Patterns Approach to Designing Distributed Systems and Solving Common Implementation Problems

More and more enterprises today are dependent on cloud services from providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. They also use products, such as Kafka and Kubernetes, or databases, such as YugabyteDB, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4j, that are distributed by nature. Because these distributed systems are inherently stateful systems, enterprise architects and developers need to be prepared for all the things that can and will go wrong when data is stored on multiple servers–from process crashes to network delays and unsynchronized clocks.

Patterns of Distributed Systems describes a set of patterns that have been observed in mainstream open-source distributed systems. Studying the common problems and the solutions that are embodied by the patterns in this guide will give you a better understanding of how these systems work, as well as a solid foundation in distributed system design principles.

Featuring real-world code examples from systems like Kafka and Kubernetes, these patterns and solutions will prepare you to confidently traverse open-source codebases and understand implementations you encounter “in the wild.”

Review the building blocks of consensus algorithms, like Paxos and Raft, for ensuring replica consistency in distributed systemsUnderstand the use of logical timestamps in databases, a fundamental concept for data versioningExplore commonly used partitioning schemes, with an in-depth look at intricacies of two-phase-commit protocolAnalyze mechanisms used in implementing cluster coordination tasks, such as group membership, failure detection, and enabling robust cluster coordinationLearn techniques for establishing effective network communication between cluster nodes.

Along with enterprise architects and data architects, software developers working with cloud services such as Amazon S3, Amazon EKS, and Azure CosmosDB or GCP Cloud Spanner will find this set of patterns to be indispensable.

A must-read for software developers lacking command-line skills, focusing on Linux. It provides transferable command-line proficiency for use in Mac OS, Unix, and Windows with WSL

Key FeaturesA practical, no-nonsense guide specifically written for developers (not sysadmins) who need to quickly learn command-line skillsExpand your practical skills and look like a wizard on the command lineBuild practical skills to work effectively with the most common CLI tools on Unix-like systemsBook Description

Developers are always looking to raise their game to the next level, yet most are completely lost when it comes to the Linux command line.

This book is the bridge that will take you to the next level in your software development career. Most of the skills in the book can be immediately put to work to make you a more efficient developer. It’s written specifically for software engineers, not Linux system administrators, so each chapter will equip you with just enough theory to understand what you’re doing before diving into practical commands that you can use in your day-to-day work as a software developer.

As you work through the book, you’ll quickly absorb the basics of how Linux works while you get comfortable moving around the command line. Once you’ve got the core skills, you’ll see how to apply them in different contexts that you’ll come across as a software developer: building and working with Docker images, automating boring build tasks with shell scripts, and troubleshooting issues in production environments.

By the end of the book, you’ll be able to use Linux and the command line comfortably and apply your newfound skills in your day-to-day work to save time, troubleshoot issues, and be the command-line wizard that your team turns to.

What you will learnLearn useful command-line tricks and tools that make software development, testing, and troubleshooting easyUnderstand how Linux and command line environments actually workCreate powerful, customized tools and save thousands of lines of code with developer-centric Linux utilitiesGain hands-on experience with Docker, SSH, and Shell scripting tasks that make you a more effective developerGet comfortable searching logs and troubleshooting problems on Linux serversHandle common command-line situations that stump other developersWho this book is for

This book is for software developers who want to build practical Command-Line (CLI) and Linux skills and who want to quickly fill the gap to advance their skills and their career. Basic knowledge of editing text, working with files and folders, having some idea of what “operating systems” are, installing software, and using a development environment is assumed.
