{"product_id":"9781491943410","title":"Architecting for Scale: High Availability for Your Growing Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery day, companies struggle to scale critical applications. As traffic volume and data demands increase, these applications become more complicated and brittle, exposing risks and compromising availability. This practical guide shows IT, devops, and system reliability managers how to prevent an application from becoming slow, inconsistent, or downright unavailable as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScaling isn’t just about handling more users; it’s also about managing risk and ensuring availability. Author Lee Atchison provides basic techniques for building applications that can handle huge quantities of traffic, data, and demand without affecting the quality your customers expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn five parts, this book explores:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/b\u003e learn techniques for building highly available applications, and for tracking and improving availability going forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRisk management:\u003c\/b\u003e identify, mitigate, and manage risks in your application, test your recovery\/disaster plans, and build out systems that contain fewer risks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eServices and microservices:\u003c\/b\u003e understand the value of services for building complicated applications that need to operate at higher scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScaling applications:\u003c\/b\u003e assign services to specific teams, label the criticalness of each service, and devise failure scenarios and recovery plans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCloud services:\u003c\/b\u003e understand the structure of cloud-based services, resource allocation, and service distribution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126851256560,"sku":"9781491943410","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491943410_p0.jpg?v=1763661913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491943410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
