The Book Is Out!

This post is long overdue, but I wanted to wait until people could reliably get their hands on a copy of the book, but I can now confirm that after around three years of work, Building Resilient Distributed Systems is now out!

If you are a subscriber on O'Reilly's Online Platform, you can read the book there (as well as access a whole host of other books, videos, and online classes). Use the discount code SAM20 for 20% off an O'Reilly subscription (I will also earn a small amount if you sign up).

If you prefer a DRM-free eBook, you can buy them from ebooks.com. Please note I earn a small commission if you use this link. Alternatively, should you prefer a print edition then please order from your local bookshop (or library). If you're in the UK you can use Hive to order online and still support your local independent bookshops.

As I get information about translations, I will let you know, but I am so glad you all finally get to read what I wrote.

On this newsletter, I am going to change to share short articles around my next field of work, which is related to how we architect our systems to make use of (and allowances for) AI. I also have a number of events coming up in 2027, which I will also share here first. The list will likely remain low-traffic, with perhaps one or two posts per month for the forseeable future.
