Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software

A single dramatic software failure can cost a company millions of dollars—but can be avoided with simple changes to design and architecture. This new edition of the best-selling industry standard shows you how to create systems that run longer, with fewer failures, and recover better when bad things happen. New coverage includes DevOps, microservices, and cloud-native architecture, as well as information on chaos engineering, the discipline of applying randomness and deliberate stress to reveal systematic problems.

Build systems that survive the real world, avoid downtime, implement continuous delivery, and make cloud-native applications resilient. Examine ways to architect, design, and build software—particularly distributed systems that stands up to a flash mob, a Slashdotting, or a link on Reddit.

If you're a software developer, and you don't want to get alerts every night for the rest of your life, help is here.
