A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to...

The new RISC-V Edition of Computer Organization and Design features the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems. With the post-PC era now upon us, Computer Organization and Design moves forward to explore this generational change with examples, exercises, and material highlighting the...

Investing in engineering documentation (Docs) means investing in community user experience.

Kubernetes has gained significant popularity over the past few years, with OpenShift as one of its most mature and prominent distributions. But while OpenShift provides several layers of abstraction over vanilla Kubernetes, this software can quickly become overwhelming because of its rich feature set and functionality. This practical book helps you understand and manage OpenShift clusters from minimal deployment to large multicluster installations....

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-a framework for managing enterprise software systems, first developed at Google-helps lower operational costs, enhance development productivity, and increase feature release. But if service-level objectives (SLOs) aren't part of your SRE strategy, you're leaving value on the table. This practical report details why and how to make SLOs, service-level indicators (SLIs), and error budgets critical components of your...
