About the Book

Build a Python service step by step, from production engineering and Linux internals to network communication, consensus, replicated storage and resource scheduling. Progressive chapter labs connect systems-level concepts to a working distributed service.

Follow a developing service through 39 chapters and their associated labs. Explore execution through Python and Linux, then carry those foundations into distributed communication, coordination, operations and scheduling. Required lab checks run locally without a cloud subscription; live cloud exercises use separately provisioned infrastructure.

Topics

Python packaging, testing, debugging and performance
Linux processes, sockets, packet inspection and CPython execution
Protocols, validation, RPC and messaging
Time, consensus, Raft, replication and distributed locking
Storage, DAGs and workflow orchestration
Containers, Kubernetes, observability and systems operations
Microsoft Azure and the SigRaft on-premises cloud
Resource scheduling and release engineering
