Long path to better systems that last longer and make engineers and customers happier KEY FEATURES ● Guidance, trade-offs analysis, principles, and insights on understanding complex microservices and monoliths problems and solutions at scale. ● In-depth coverage of anti-patterns, allowing the reader to avoid pitfalls and understand how to handle architecture at scale better. ● Concepts and lessons learned through experience in performing code and data migration at scale with complex architectures. Best usage of new technology using the right architecture principles. DESCRIPTION This book is a comprehensive guide to designing scalable and maintainable software written by an expert. It covers the principles, patterns, anti-patterns, trade-offs, and concepts that software developers and architects need to understand to design software that is both scalable and maintainable. The book begins by introducing the concept of monoliths and discussing the challenges associated with scaling and maintaining them. It then covers several anti-patterns that can lead to these challenges, such as lack of isolation and internal shared libraries. The next section of the book focuses on the principles of good software design, such as loose coupling and encapsulation. It also covers several software architecture patterns that can be used to design scalable and maintainable monoliths, such as the layered architecture pattern and the microservices pattern. The final section of the book guides how to migrate monoliths to distributed systems. It also covers how to test and deploy distributed systems effectively. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Understand the challenges of monoliths and the common anti-patterns that lead to them. ● Learn the principles of good software design, such as loose coupling and encapsulation. ● Discover software architecture patterns that can be used to design scalable and maintainable monoliths. ● Get guidance on how to migrate monoliths to distributed systems. ● Learn how to test and deploy distributed systems effectively. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR This book is for software developers, architects, system architects, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and anyone who wants to learn about the principles and practices of modernizing software architectures.

Description As an engineer, it can feel like there is never enough time for testing, designing, or delivering quality solutions. Managers often feel overwhelmed by the need to deliver new features to support their teams while managing vulnerabilities and security standards. Engineers often have to work with legacy systems and learn many new technologies simultaneously to be effective in their jobs. This book teaches you continuous modernization, a key skill for tackling modern and legacy software. By adopting the right mindset and techniques, you will improve systems and workflows, making everything more efficient over time.
Continuous modernization is your essential guide to updating old software systems into modern, efficient, and scalable applications. This book covers everything from changing your mindset and technical practices to business strategies and fostering a culture of innovation. It includes tips on unlearning outdated methods, embracing feedback, making smart decisions, ensuring stability, and applying modern design principles. With practical techniques and real-world examples, it provides the tools you need to modernize your software systems and achieve lasting success successfully.
By the end of this book, readers will master continuous modernization principles and practices. They will learn to spot areas needing improvement, create effective modernization strategies, and implement changes that boost value and efficiency. Additionally, they will understand how to build a culture of innovation and ongoing learning to keep their software systems up-to-date and competitive in a fast-changing tech world. Key Features ● Develop the mindset to drive software success, delivering impactful changes with fewer resources. ● Explore patterns and anti-patterns in technical architecture, team dynamics, troubleshooting, and design. ● Gain insights on solving large-scale software modernization challenges, from culture to architecture. What you will learn ● Learn patterns, anti-patterns, and tools to improve software architecture decisions. ● Eliminate limiting practices to improve development efficiency. ● Apply disciplined feedback loops to refine architecture and design decisions. ● Implement advanced troubleshooting techniques to prevent design flaws. ● Continuously refactor systems and scale modernization efforts in distributed architectures. Who this book is for Our book is for professionals in the field of computer science. It is for software architects, engineers, testers, managers, directors, and VPs. This is for individuals and teams who may or may not have a modernization project but care about improving individuals and systems daily. Table of Contents 1. What is Continuous Modernization? 2. Unlearning 3. Discipline & Feedback 4. Decisions & Tradeoffs 5. Stability & Troubleshooting 6. Opportunistic Design 7. Continuous Refactoring 8. The Art of Selling 9. Effective Negotiation 10. Culture Shift 11. Epilogue
Dzogchen, the Great Perfection, is the highest meditative practice of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Approaching the Great Perfection looks at a seminal figure of this lineage, Jigme Lingpa, an eighteenth-century scholar and meditation master whose cycle of teachings, the Longchen Nyingtig, has been handed down through generations as a complete path to enlightenment. Ten of Jigme Lingpa's texts are presented here, along with extensive analysis by van Schaik of a core tension within Buddhism: Does enlightenment develop gradually, or does it come all at once? Though these two positions are often portrayed by modern scholars as entrenched polemical views, van Schaik explains that both tendencies are present within each of the Tibetan Buddhist schools. He demonstrates how Jigme Lingpa is a great illustration of this balancing act, using the rhetoric of both sides to propel his students along the path of the Great Perfection.
