Introduction to theByteBook Project
What is it?
theByteBook is an open-source book that explores the principles and practices of architecture design. While it is a work in progress with sections that might lack clarity or have incomplete organization, the creator commits to refining it over the coming months. Readers who spot issues or have suggestions are encouraged to contribute via GitHub by submitting a pull request (PR) or an issue.
The creator of theByteBook also runs a public forum where enthusiasts can engage in discussions about technology.
Why was it created?
In recent years, technologies in internet infrastructure have significantly evolved with advancements such as container technology (like Container and Kubernetes), service meshes (ServiceMesh), serverless architectures (Serverless), and high-performance networking (like DPDK and XDP). The author has some exposure to these technologies but wants to deepen their understanding.
Using the Feynman Learning Technique, the author aims to systematically summarize and present these technologies. This approach not only enhances their personal comprehension but also serves as a beneficial resource for others. The core content of this series focuses on three main topics: Networks, Clustering and Service Governance, and FinOps. These areas are central to the fundamentals of infrastructure: stability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
The content of theByteBook is regularly updated, and those interested can stay informed by starring the project on GitHub.
