A request does not simply reach a backend. It crosses names, routes, networks, connections, proxies, caches, queues, and admission controls - and every layer can add state, latency, or failure.

Traffic Engineering at Scale follows the complete request path from a user device to useful application capacity. Written for backend and infrastructure-minded engineers, it explains how DNS, anycast, Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing, gateways, service meshes, CDNs, health checks, connection pools, retries, and overload controls work together as one production system.

Rather than presenting infrastructure as a catalog of products, the book asks operational questions. What happens while DNS answers remain cached? Which component owns a retry? How does a load balancer react when topology changes? Can a regional drain move new requests without breaking existing connections? When does a cache protect the origin, and when does it amplify failure?

Inside, you will learn how to:

- Trace requests across resolver, network, proxy, cache, and origin boundaries
