Why we need more primer books for tech #podcast #tech #technology #microseries #cloudnative #cloud

In the latest episode of Asynchronous and Unreliable podcast, Jamie Dobson and I discuss zoomed out vs zoomed in communications of tech and tech progress.

My book on cloud native in practice, The Cloud Native Attitude was, as Jamie says, a primer. It is designed to give a high level overview of the concepts and how they are applied in the field. You can then zoom in on the details with other books such as Sam Newman's excellent Building Microservices from O'Reilly and his forthcoming Building Resilient Distributed Systems and zoom in even further with books like Brendan Burns Designing Distributed Systems (also O'Reilly) which is also excellent and more Kubernetes focused.

In the same way, Building Green Software was designed to be a primer on modern tech #efficiency, cost cutting, and #resilience, which happen to align with reduced carbon emissions. You can zoom in with books on #FinOps or #SRE practices and then even further with books on good #rustlang or #Golang development practices (which are more efficient) like David Drysdale's Effective Rust

Asynchronous and Unreliable is a zoom out, overview kind of a tech podcast with occasional more zoomed in episodes to keep me on my toes as a technologist/host, like episode 3, Niki Manoledaki's on open source operational efficiency. I'll be giving a more zoomed out view on that episode next week in a great episode on #platformengineering with Paula Kennedy
