Part II. Scalable Systems
The five chapters in Part II of this book focus on scaling request processing. The major topics covered include scaling out systems across multiple compute resources, load balancing, distributed caching, asynchronous messaging, and microservice-based architectures. I introduce the basic concepts of these architectural approaches and illustrate them with examples from widely used distributed technologies such as RabbitMQ and Google App Engine.
