Hey everybody,

I am super excited － and probably equally anxious － to release of the first chapter of Thinking in Distributed Systems.

In this chapter, we will delve into an informal discussion to build a comprehensible mental model of distributed systems. In the next chapter we will delve into a formal discussion to build a comprehensive mental model of distributed systems.

Objectives:

Be able to define and to think about the structure and behavior of a distributed system.
Be able to define and to think about the correctness, scalability, and reliability of a distributed system.
Be comfortable to reason about a system in different terms and from different perspectives.
Understand the need for building distributed systems.

I hope you will enjoy the first chapter in our journey of exploring distributed systems

My goal is to make distributed systems approachable and understandable. If you have trouble understanding the materia , it’s not on you, it’s on me. So please reach out to me at dominik.tornow@icloud.com or send me a dm on twitter at @DominikTornow with questions, comments, and feedback, I want to make sure that you get the most out of this book.
