A fuzzy understanding of how distributed systems work is no longer an option. \u003ci\u003eThink Distributed Systems\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThink Distributed Systems\u003c\/i\u003e you’ll find a beautifully illustrated collection of mental models for:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrectness, scalability, and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailure detection, and mitigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMessage processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartitioning and replication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsensus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eYou’ll love how the insightful analogies, practical examples, helpful illustrations, and accurate definitions in \u003ci\u003eThink Distributed Systems\u003c\/i\u003e illuminate even the most difficult topics. The book breaks down this wide-ranging topic into clear categories like transactions, message processing, and distributed consensus.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThink Distributed Systems\u003c\/i\u003e you’ll find a beautifully illustrated collection of mental models for:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrectness, scalability, and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailure tolerance, detection, and mitigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMessage processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartitioning, replication, consensus, and more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThis practical book delivers both the big picture view and ground-level details you need to understand the distributed systems you’ll encounter on the job.
