Reason confidently about distributed systems.
 
Distributed systems are complex—but they’re also everywhere in modern software. A fuzzy understanding of how distributed systems work is no longer an option. Think Distributed Systems helps you develop clear and dependable mental models of distributed systems, so you can reason about complex problems with confidence. You’ll be able to reason confidently about your systems, and ensure they’re functional, scalable, and always reliable.
 
In Think Distributed Systems you’ll find a beautifully illustrated collection of mental models for:
• Correctness, scalability, and reliability
• Failure detection, and mitigation
• Message processing
• Partitioning and replication
• Consensus
 
You’ll love how the insightful analogies, practical examples, helpful illustrations, and accurate definitions in Think Distributed Systems illuminate even the most difficult topics. The book 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.
