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

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. About the technology Almost all modern software is distributed. To create production-quality applications, you need to think differently about failure, performance, network services, latency, resource usage, and much more. This clearly-written book equips you with the skills and the mindset you need to design, develop, and deploy scalable and reliable distributed systems.
