Just bla bla, nothing else

The book and paper quality is amazing

I was amazed by the depth of this book, and the way it covers several aspects of what it takes to operate a complex and distributed software system. I was particularly impressed with the details of some chapters related to monitoring, load balancing (at the front end and back end), designing applications to manage overload conditions, and being on call.I think the book has a lot to teach and inspire. Some of the approaches described are very counterintuitive like the error budget, and the blameless postmortem culture. One of the shortcomings I noticed was that some chapters are hard to read because they treat rather advanced topics. The fact that the book has very few illustrations makes it hard to understand some of the concepts at times. Overall, an invaluable resource.

pretty good print quality. I know it's a free book but nothing beats having a copy in your hand.

Book arrived in great condition. Good book and easy to read. I'm not a big reader and had to do this book in multiple stages, but it was well worth reading it. Lots of real life applications.

What to know about an Engineer - read this book - it's Deep
