As businesses are undergoing a digital transformation to keep up with competition, it is now more important than ever for IT professionals to design systems to keep up with the rate of change while maintaining stability.

This book takes you through the architectural patterns that power enterprise-grade software systems and the key architectural elements that enable change (such as events, autonomous services, and micro frontends), along with showing you how to implement and operate anti-fragile systems.

First, you’ll divide up a system and define boundaries so that your teams can work autonomously and accelerate innovation. You’ll cover low-level event and data patterns that support the entire architecture, while getting up and running with the different autonomous service design patterns.

Next, the book will focus on best practices for security, reliability, testability, observability, and performance. You’ll combine all that you've learned and build upon that foundation, exploring the methodologies of continuous experimentation, deployment, and delivery before delving into some final thoughts on how to start making progress.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to architect your own event-driven, serverless systems that are ready to adapt and change so that you can deliver value at the pace needed by your business.
