Execution and Delivery: Concurrency, Deployment, and Runtime Behavior (Software Development Principles)($59.95Value)

Description

Friday afternoon. The deployment looked clean—green builds, passing tests, smooth rollout. Monday morning: memory at 98%, response times tripled, the on-call engineer rolling back by hand. Production does not care that it worked in staging. 89 principles. Zero hand-waving. Each follows the same rigorous format: a clear explanation, warning signs that reveal violations, and markers that confirm correct application. No "it depends" without explaining why. Three chapters cover: Concurrency and Parallelism—race conditions, deadlocks, thread pools, actors, and the fundamental laws that govern parallel speedup - DevOps and Deployment—blue-green, canary, rolling updates, feature flags, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD pipelines that make releases routine - System Behavior and Operations—observability, error handling, tail latency, and the runtime concerns that separate production systems from prototypes Reach for this book when a concurrency bug defies reproduction, a deployment needs a rollback plan, or your monitoring shows green while users report errors. Execution and Delivery is Book 5 of the Software Development Principles series. Language-agnostic. Framework-independent. Built to last. Code that passes tests is a starting point. Code that runs in production is the finish line.
