Understanding Distributed Systems

Sobre este livro

a key book by Roberto Vitillo, guiding developers through concepts like load balancing, data synchronization, scalability, fault tolerance, and resiliency in building robust, large-scale systems, bridging academic theory with practical experience for those needing to handle complex challenges in modern applications. It's known for being a more accessible entry point than some other texts, offering both core concepts and deep dives into practical aspects like SLAs/SLOs/SLIs and logical clocks, making it great for beginners or as a foundational read before diving into deeper resources like 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' (DDIA)
