Book Description

Without established design patterns to guide them, developers have had to build distributed systems from scratch, and most of these systems are very unique indeed. Today, the increasing use of containers has paved the way for core distributed system patterns and reusable containerized components.

This practical guide presents a collection of repeatable, generic patterns to help make the development of reliable distributed systems far more approachable and efficient.It demonstrates how you can adapt existing software design patterns for designing and building reliable distributed applications.

Systems engineers and application developers will learn how these long-established patterns provide a common language and framework for dramatically increasing the quality of your system.

• Understand how patterns and reusable components enable the rapid development of reliable distributed systems
• Use the side-car, adapter, and ambassador patterns to split your application into a group of containers on a single machine
• Explore loosely coupled multi-node distributed patterns for replication, scaling, and communication between the components
• Learn distributed system patterns for large-scale batch data processing covering work-queues, event-based processing, and coordinated workflows

• Brendan Burns, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft and Director of Engineering at Microsoft Azure, works on Azure and is cofounder of the Kubernetes project.

• Notes on Theory of Distributed Systems (James Aspnes)

  This book rovides a comprehensive source of material on the principles and practice of distributed computer systems and the exciting new developments based on them, using a wealth of modern case studies to illustrate their design and development.

• Distributed Systems, 3rd Edition (Maarten van Steen, et al)

  This book covers the principles, advanced concepts, and technologies of distributed systems in detail, including: communication, replication, fault tolerance, and security. It shows how distributed systems are designed and implemented in real systems.

• Distributed Systems For Fun and Profit (Mikito Takada)

  This little book manages to pack an enormous amount of information about core distributed system concepts. It offers concise and clear explanations and links and references to many important works and papers on distributed systems.

• Designing and Building Parallel Programs (Ian Foster)

  This book introduces the parallel paradigm, and shows how parallel programming is carried out using a variety of programming languages, focus throughout on parallel programming as opposed to algorithm development.
