One of the biggest challenges for organizations that have adopted microservice architecture is the lack of architectural operational & organizational standardization After splitting a monolithic application or building a microservice ecosystem from scratch many engineers are left wondering what's next In this practical book author Susan Fowler presents a set of microservice standards in depth drawing from her experience standardizing over a thousand microservices at Uber You'll learn how to design microservices that are stable reliable scalable fault tolerant performant monitored documented & prepared for any catastrophe Explore production-readiness standards including Stability & Reliability develop deploy introduce & deprecate microservices; protect against dependency failures Scalability & Performance learn essential components for achieving greater microservice efficiency Fault Tolerance & Catastrophe Preparedness ensure availability by actively pushing microservices to fail in real time Monitoring learn how to monitor log & display key metrics; establish alerting & on-call procedures Documentation & Understanding mitigate tradeoffs that come with microservice adoption including organizational sprawl & technical debt ...

Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the careers of mathematician codebreaker computer scientist & biologist He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country & it has become hard to disentangle the real man from the story It is easy to cast him as a misfit the stereotypical professor But actually Alan Turing was never a professor & his nickname Prof& was given by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Park Now Alan Turing&s nephew Dermot Turing has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing&s life & creativity & the later creation of a legend For the first time it is possible to disclose the real character behind the cipher-text how did Alan&s childhood experiences influence the man? Who were the influential figures in Alan&s formative years? How did his creative ideas evolve? Was he really a solitary asocial genius? What was his wartime work after 1942 & why was it kept even more secret than the Enigma story? What is the truth about Alan Turing&s conviction for gross indecency & did he commit suicide? What is the significance of the Royal Pardon granted in 2013? In Dermot&s own style he takes a vibrant & entertaining approach to the life & work of a true genius ...

Unlike high-level languages such as Java & C assembly language is much closer to the machine code that actually runs computers; it's used to create programs or modules that are very fast & efficient as well as in hacking exploits & reverse engineering Covering assembly language in the Pentium microprocessor environment this code-intensive guide shows programmers how to create st&-alone assembly language programs as well as how to incorporate assembly language libraries or routines into existing high-level applications Demonstrates how to manipulate data incorporate advanced functions & libraries & maximize application performance Examples use C as a high-level language Linux as the development environment & GNU tools for assembling compiling linking & debugging ...
