Software Architecture: The Hard Parts - Modern Trade-Off Analyses for Distributed Architectures (Grayscale Indian Edition) Paperback – 29 October 2021

The book is a must read for all who aspire to build modern systems. Microservices or otherwise. No one builds all-in-one super systems. The question is always whether to go full blown microservices or a compromise solution that's neither a monolith or a microservice. Microservices is definitely not a low cost architecture thats easy to recommend. The answer is always "it depends".This book helps navigate the difficult and treacherous decision making process in a structured manner. For someone who is looking at engineering a modern system or breaking a monolith should definitely read this . This book is a gold mine for you.For practitioners who are already in the process of figuring out how to break monoliths this book may give you structure to cover your bases and present your arguments. Its a good read for you . Be warned though that the reading speed will increase several fold somewhere 25-30% into the book as you start to encounter concepts you are already dealing with. ACID vs BASE or SYNC vs ASYNC etc.,Overall a good book and an easy recommend

A practical book on software architecture. Highlights decision trade offs in distributed service based software architecture. Writing style is clear.

Very good book

Good book but need a lot of self motivation to read.

Lots of information, details about many metrics. Many good points covered for migration, code refactoring perspectives. Excellent guide for architects.

pirated copy received

Not at all useful for senior leadeship. Its too much complicated and does not provide required information. In sample, I got few pages, which made be inclined to buy book and I am now not in position to return as its purchased through kindle. Waste of money.

The printing quality is inconsistent. One set of pages with crisp and clear fonts. However other sets of pages with blurred fonts impact readability. The price is too high for this low quality inconsistent printing.It's not expected from a highly reputed publisher(Oreilly Media). Don't overprice for such low quality printing or else provide quality.
