Mastering Distributed Systems in the Cloud | AWS & Azure Patterns for Scale & Reliability

Mastering Distributed Systems in the Cloud | AWS & Azure Patterns for Scale & Reliability

📢 Why Distributed Systems Fail (And How to Fix Them)
Modern applications demand cloud-scale architectures, but most teams struggle with complexity, consistency, and resilience. This book bridges the gap between theory (CAP theorem, consensus algorithms) and real-world patterns proven in AWS/Azure environments serving millions of users.

🔑 Key Topics Covered
✔ From Monoliths to Microservices: When to distribute—and when not to
✔ CAP Theorem in Practice: Tradeoffs between consistency, availability & partition tolerance (with AWS/Azure examples)
✔ Cloud-Native Architectures: Best services for distributed apps (Lambda vs. ECS, Azure Functions vs. AKS)

✔ Production-Proven Patterns:
Event Sourcing & CQRS
Saga Pattern for Transactions

Circuit Breakers & Retries
✔ Observability & Resilience: Distributed tracing, chaos engineering, and SLOs
✔ Data Management at Scale:
When to use (and avoid) eventual consistency
Database-per-service vs. shared databases
✔ Performance Optimization: Continuous tuning across infrastructure, code, and queries

🎯 Who Needs This Book?
→ Cloud Architects designing scalable systems
→ Senior Engineers migrating from monoliths
→ Tech Leads avoiding complexity traps
→ DevOps Teams implementing observability & resilience

✨ What Makes This Book Unique?
✅ No Theory-Only Fluff: Every concept is tied to AWS/Azure implementations
✅ Battle-Tested Patterns: Lessons from systems serving millions of users
✅ Holistic Approach: Covers architecture, security, data, and performance
✅ Tool-Specific Guidance: When to use DynamoDB vs. Cosmos DB, SQS vs. Event Hubs, etc.

Scalable Infrastructure: Building Reliable Distributed Systems

Layman Abstract:
As modern apps grow to serve millions of users, they must be fast, reliable, and scalable. This book explains how to build such powerful systems using distributed computing—where software runs across many machines, often in the cloud (like AWS and Azure).
It breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations and shows how to apply them in real life. Readers will learn how to design secure, high-performing systems using proven patterns and cloud tools. Ideal for experienced developers and tech leaders, this guide helps turn theory into practical, reliable solutions.
