A single dramatic software failure can cost a company millions of dollars - but can be avoided with simple changes to design and architecture. This new edition of the best-selling industry standard shows you how to create systems that run longer, with fewer failures, and recover better when bad things happen. New coverage includes DevOps, microservices, and cloud-native architecture. Stability antipatterns have grown to include systemic problems in large-scale systems. This is a must-have pragmatic guide to engineering for production systems.

If you're a software developer, and you don't want to get alerts every night for the rest of your life, help is here. With a combination of case studies about huge losses - lost revenue, lost reputation, lost time, lost opportunity - and practical, down-to-earth advice that was all gained through painful experience, this book helps you avoid the pitfalls that cost companies millions of dollars in downtime and reputation. Eighty percent of project life-cycle cost is in production, yet few books address this topic.

This updated edition deals with the production of today's systems - larger, more complex, and heavily virtualized - and includes information on chaos engineering, the discipline of applying randomness and deliberate stress to reveal systematic problems. Build systems that survive the real world, avoid downtime, implement zero-downtime upgrades and continuous delivery, and make cloud-native applications resilient. Examine ways to architect, design, and build software - particularly distributed systems - that stands up to the typhoon winds of a flash mob, a Slashdotting, or a link on Reddit. Take a hard look at software that failed the test and find ways to make sure your software survives.

To skip the pain and get the experience...get this book.

From the Publisher

Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software

From the Preface

In this book, you will examine ways to architect, design, and build software —particularly distributed systems—for the muck and mire of the real world. You will prepare for the armies of illogical users who do crazy, unpredictable things. Your software will be under attack from the moment you release it. It needs to stand up to the typhoon winds of flash mobs or the crushing pressure of a DDoS attack by poorly secured IoT toaster ovens. You’ll take a hard look at software that failed the test and find ways to make sure your software survives contact with the real world.

Who Should Read This Book

I’ve targeted this book to architects, designers, and developers of distributed software systems, including websites, web services, and EAI projects, among others. These must be available or the company loses money. Maybe they’re commerce systems that generate revenue directly through sales or critical internal systems that employees use to do their jobs. If anybody has to go home for the day because your software stops working, then this book is for you.

A must read book for software engineers

25 years in the industry and this book captures a lot of hard won lessons. Recommended for new and seasoned developers.

This is a must-have.
Almost every real-world stability issue I'm observing in production is described, with solutions, in this book.
Both principles and practical tools are very well explained.

A discussion about function-as-a-service (which, I'm sure, will become the default for a lot of new software) is missing, but the book is still amazingly useful.

If you are writing software for internet then don't put it in production until you have finished this book. I would recommend this book highly for not only engineers but also dev managers so that they understand where they should be investing money and talent.

Helpful way to get going in release automation

May 6, 2018

Format: PaperbackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

DevOps is a hot topic at many organizations today, and this book can help software developers and IT operations folks implement a workable DevOps strategy. Often, the difference between success and failure are the little things that are common in every site, and this book has a good balance of simple, straightforward advice that can still accommodate the complex needs of any large organization.

Overall, I found the material well written although suited more to the newcomer than to seasoned pros...indeed, there are a few passages that aren't wrong, but will make the little hairs on the back of salty old IT operations staff stand up. Plus, many large organizations will be taking the release automation journey hand-in-hand with a set of vendor-written products that are usually optimized to work a certain way, and of course that will have a big impact on how you proceed. But, as a starting point for a person or team just trying to get their head around streamlining the release process, this book will definitely give the reader lots of good ideas.

Definitely recommended if you're in the early stages of DevOps and release automation.

It will give you nightmares :)

May 7, 2018

Format: PaperbackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The title of this book almost makes it sound like it is about DevOps, but this is a book about architecture. It is about the architecture not only of the software itself but also the environments in which it is tested and deployed for production. It is about the difference between software that works when things are going as planned and software that works in production, when the world is plotting against you.

And this book will give you a renewed appreciation for large, distributed, mission-critical apps. There is so much to consider -- you end up feeling that it's a wonder things work as well as they do. As a developer, it made me anxious just to read about all of the things that can go wrong. Yikes!

The book is slightly more relevant to folks using the JVM, but for the most part the ideas are platform-independent. Perhaps more importantly, the book feels slightly dated. I hope in a future edition the book will talk more about modern solutions using streams (to manage flow with back-pressure), event-sourcing, Kafka, AWS Lambda, etc. There is a little about some of this but I suspect that a book that assumed a more modern software foundation would have a somewhat different set of lessons.

Still, it's a great -- if terrifying -- look at what can go wrong and how to prevent it. Architects and senior developers, please read this.

Format: PaperbackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Prevention is better than cure. this is true in most areas oflife including software. This bookis nicely organized andunderstandably written. It is a fairly thorough journey through allthat can go wrong and how to avoid the problem. This is a good book for students but is also a helpful resource for IT pros.
