For decades, the heroes of software were those who could write the fastest, cleanest code. They were the masters of syntax, the brilliant ten-percenters who could conjure complex logic out of thin air.But the world has changed. Our systems no longer run on single machines; they are vast, interconnected digital ecosystems that power payments, health care, and communication for billions. The best code snippet in the world is useless if the system that hosts it buckles under a traffic surge, leaks customer data, or costs five times more to run than it generates in revenue.This is a book about the product decisions that shape architecture. It’s about the trade-offs that keep a startup alive in an emerging market and what differentiates a global platform from a local application. It’s for the next generation of leaders who understand that in the modern digital economy, the system is the product. Read it, and start building systems that don’t just execute commands, but think.

In this book, you'll see that the book is designed with one main idea. It aims to give you the skills, confidence and understanding you need to build and deliver real Backend systems. Each chapter is designed to teach you everything you need to know to get hands-on with writing, configuring, deploying and troubleshooting your own projects. Right at the start, we got stuck into designing APIs and building backend systems. We didn't just stick to the basics, though. We went beyond that pretty quickly and started using modern protocols like gRPC and the key contract-first methods that are now the norm for scalable backend systems.

This is the Zero-Risk Action Playbook for SaaS Founders and Developers. It provides step-by-step guidance and checklists to immediately stop fake signups and bot attacks, protecting business revenue.

This book opens the door for developers, project managers, product managers, and business analysts who want to understand how trading systems really work — from trade booking and lifecycle processing to data flow and integration. It provides the knowledge and perspective needed to gain a true edge in one of the most technically sophisticated domains in finance.

Born from year one of The Coder Cafe, the newsletter trusted by 3,000+ readers, this contains distills timeless concepts to help you master the fundamentals of software engineering: code health, testing, distributed systems, critical thinking, and more.Written by Teiva Harsanyi, Google SWE and published author, it supports your growth as an engineer, one concept at a time.

Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

"Knowledge is power. That's why they want to keep it from you."In a world where learning is forbidden and ignorance is enforced, one app could change everything.Zia never imagined that teaching people to read would make her an enemy of the state. But when her revolutionary learning app Multilada threatens to educate the masses, she becomes the most wanted person in the city.Now she's racing against time, learning cloud computing from underground rebels while government agents hunt her down. Every deployment could be her last. Every lesson she teaches could get someone killed.But some knowledge is worth dying for.The revolution starts with a single purchase.
