Critics Review

  • The book covers most of the important topics including partitioning, replication, caching and OS level optimizations. It covers both software and hardware details to understand what contributes to latency and how it can be improved.

Shubham Patel, Senior Software Engineer, Apple

  • I miss books like this (well organized and a fair mix of practical examples, analogies and theory). I am looking forward to having a copy on my bookshelf.’

Artur Baruchi, Senior Software Engineer, Heo
