Reason confidently about distributed systems.

All modern software is distributed. Let''s say that again—all modern software is distributed. Whether you''re building mobile utilities, microservices, or massive cloud native enterprise applications, creating efficient distributed systems requires you to think differently about failure, performance, network services, resource usage, latency, and much more. This clearly-written book guides you into the mindset you''ll need to design, develop, and deploy scalable and reliable distributed systems.

In Think Distributed Systems you''ll find a beautifully illustrated collection of mental models for:

Correctness, scalability, and reliability
Failure tolerance, detection, and mitigation
Message processing
Partitioning and replication
Consensus

Distributed systems can be complex and challenging to understand. You''ll love how the insightful analogies, practical examples, helpful illustrations, and accurate definitions illuminate even the most difficult topics. Think Distributed Systems breaks down this wide-ranging topic into clear categories like transactions, message processing, and distributed consensus. In every chapter, you''ll find a new "aha!" moment.
