Release It!
Michael Nygard has over 15 years of experience as a professional programmer and architect. He has supplied running systems to the United States government, as well as to the banking, finance, agriculture, and retail businesses. Michael is a popular conference speaker and author of several books, including 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know and the best-selling first edition of this book.
A single catastrophic software failure can cost a corporation millions of dollars, but it can be avoided with simple design and architecture improvements. This updated version of the best-selling industry standard teaches you how to build systems that run longer, have fewer failures, and recover more quickly when terrible things happen. DevOps, microservices, and cloud-native architecture are among the new topics covered. Antipatterns of stability have expanded to cover systemic issues in large-scale systems. This is a practical guide on engineering for production systems that everyone should have.
If you're a software developer and don't want to receive alerts every night for the rest of your life, there's aid available. Release It! helps you avoid the traps that cost companies millions of dollars in downtime and reputation by combining case studies of massive losses - lost money, lost reputation, lost time, lost opportunity - and practical, down-to-earth advice obtained through hard experience. Despite the fact that production accounts for 80% of project life-cycle costs, few books discuss this topic.
Release It! addresses the construction of today's systems, which are larger, more complicated, and heavily virtualized, as well as material on chaos engineering, the field of using randomness and deliberate stress to identify systematic issues. Create systems that can withstand real-world conditions, eliminate downtime, use zero-downtime upgrades and continuous delivery, and make cloud-native apps durable. Consider how to construct, create, and build software, particularly distributed systems, that can withstand the typhoon winds of a flash mob, a Slashdotting, or a Reddit link. Examine the software that failed the test and devise techniques to ensure that your program survives.
