Solve complex business problems by understanding users better, finding the right problem to solve, and building lean event-driven systems to give your customers what they really want Key Features * Apply DDD principles using modern tools such as EventStorming, Event Sourcing, and CQRS * Learn how DDD applies directly to various architectural styles such as REST, reactive systems, and microservices * Empower teams to work flexibly with improved services and decoupled interactions Book Description Developers across the world are rapidly adopting DDD principles to deliver powerful results when writing software that deals with complex business requirements. This book will guide you in involving business stakeholders when choosing the software you are planning to build for them. By figuring out the temporal nature of behavior-driven domain models, you will be able to build leaner, more agile, and modular systems. You’ll begin by uncovering domain complexity and learn how to capture the behavioral aspects of the domain language. You will then learn about EventStorming and advance to creating a new project in .NET Core 2.1; you’ll also and write some code to transfer your events from sticky notes to C#. The book will show you how to use aggregates to handle commands and produce events. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with Bounded Contexts, Context Map, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. After translating domain models into executable C# code, you will create a frontend for your application using Vue.js. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to refactor your code and cover event versioning and migration essentials. By the end of this DDD book, you will have gained the confidence to implement the DDD approach in your organization and be able to explore new techniques that complement what you’ve learned from the book. What you will learn * Discover and resolve domain complexity together with business stakeholders * Avoid common pitfalls when creating the domain model * Study the concept of Bounded Context and aggregate * Design and build temporal models based on behavior and not only data * Explore benefits and drawbacks of Event Sourcing * Get acquainted with CQRS and to-the-point read models with projections * Practice building one-way flow UI with Vue.js * Understand how a task-based UI conforms to DDD principles Who this book is for This book is for .NET developers who have an intermediate level understanding of C#, and for those who seek to deliver value, not just write code. Intermediate level of competence in JavaScript will be helpful to follow the UI chapters.

Explore practical use cases to learn everything from Linux components, and functionalities, through to hardware and software support Key Features * Gain a clear understanding of how to design a Linux environment * Learn more about the architecture of the modern Linux operating system(OS) * Understand infrastructure needs and design a high-performing computing environment Book Description It is very important to understand the flexibility of an infrastructure when designing an efficient environment. In this book, you will cover everything from Linux components and functionalities through to hardware and software support, which will help you to implement and tune effective Linux-based solutions. This book gets started with an overview of Linux design methodology. Next, you will focus on the core concepts of designing a solution. As you progress, you will gain insights into the kinds of decisions you need to make when deploying a high-performance solution using Gluster File System (GlusterFS). In the next set of chapters, the book will guide you through the technique of using Kubernetes as an orchestrator for deploying and managing containerized applications. In addition to this, you will learn how to apply and configure Kubernetes for your NGINX application. You’ll then learn how to implement an ELK stack, which is composed of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. In the concluding chapters, you will focus on installing and configuring a Saltstack solution to manage different Linux distributions, and explore a variety of design best practices. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with designing a high-performing computing environment for complex applications to run on. By the end of the book, you will have delved inside the most detailed technical conditions of designing a solution, and you will have also dissected every aspect in detail in order to implement and tune open source Linux-based solutions What you will learn * Study the basics of infrastructure design and the steps involved * Expand your current design portfolio with Linux-based solutions * Discover open source software-based solutions to optimize your architecture * Understand the role of high availability and fault tolerance in a resilient design * Identify the role of containers and how they improve your continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines * Gain insights into optimizing and making resilient and highly available designs by applying industry best practices Who this book is for This intermediate-level book is for Linux system administrators, Linux support engineers, DevOps engineers, Linux consultants or any open source technology professional looking to learn or expand their knowledge in architecting, designing and implementing solutions based on Linux and open source software. Prior experience in Linux is required.
