Story
As organizations shift from monolithic applications to smaller, self-contained microservices, distributed systems have become more fine-grained. But developing these new systems brings its own host of problems. This expanded second edition takes a holistic view of topics that you need to consider when building, managing, and scaling microservices architectures. Through clear examples and practical advice, author Sam Newman gives everyone from architects and developers to testers and IT operators a firm grounding in the concepts.

At the career level, your company's career ladder won't require that you work towards the next promotion; being promoted further is an exception rather than expected. This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management.

Nearly 20 years after the Agile Manifesto was first presented, the legendary Robert C. Martin (“Uncle Bob”) reintroduces Agile values and principles for a new generation - programmers and nonprogrammers alike. Martin, author of Clean Code and other highly influential software development guides, was there at Agile’s founding. Now, in Clean Agile: Back to Basics, he strips away misunderstandings and distractions that over the years have made it harder to use Agile than was originally intended.

Publisher's Summary
Newly adapted for audiobook listeners.
Data is at the center of many challenges in system design today. Difficult issues need to be figured out, such as scalability, consistency, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability. In addition, we have an overwhelming variety of tools, including relational databases, NoSQL datastores, stream or batch processors, and message brokers. What are the right choices for your application? How do you make sense of all these buzzwords?
In this practical and comprehensive guide, author Martin Kleppmann helps you navigate this diverse landscape by examining the pros and cons of various technologies for processing and storing data. Software keeps changing, but the fundamental principles remain the same. With this book, software engineers and architects will learn how to apply those ideas in practice, and how to make full use of data in modern applications.
Peer under the hood of the systems you already use, and learn how to use and operate them more effectively.
Make informed decisions by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different tools.
Navigate the trade-offs around consistency, scalability, fault tolerance, and complexity.
Understand the distributed systems research upon which modern databases are built.
Peek behind the scenes of major online services, and learn from their architectures.

Superb. Several semesters worth of classes.
I have over a decade of experience with software development related to data systems, yet this book made me realize there is a lot I still can learn.
The book builds up from fundamentals to higher level concepts, and in an enjoyable and logical manner.
It's quite amazing that an AUDIO book on this topic can be this good. I am left inspired to put all this excellent knowledge to good use.

Does not apply to structured data world
Book is tilted or even a bit biased toward unstructured/loosely structured data processing concepts, ie. nosql movement. If your are required to design data intensive applications with or for strictly structured relational data, then this book is not for you, the concepts and technologies for that purpose are not covered. But for unstructured/loosely structured data applications, this is a good book.
Also, references in some cases are a bit dodgy, linked to reddit forums and some times to quite random forums, which makes you question the validity of the content in refenced cases. Some referenced links are 404.
