From fundamentals and design patterns to the different strategies for creating secure and reliable architectures in AWS cloud, learn everything you need to become a successful solutions architect. Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF format. "For new or existing solutions architects looking to keep their skills sharp in the cloud era, this book hits all the key areas." -Rajesh Sheth, GM, Messaging and Streaming, AWS "...the go-to guide for understanding various functions in the age of cloud computing." -Rohan Karmarkar, Director, Solutions Architecture, AWS "...you will find very important nuggets of knowledge that will help you be a successful solutions architect, and open up a new world of infinite possibilities!" -Kamal Arora, Senior Manager, Solutions Architecture, AWS Becoming a solutions architect requires a hands-on approach, and this edition of the Solutions Architect's Handbook brings exactly that. This handbook will teach you how to create robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant solutions and next-generation architecture designs in a cloud environment. It will also help you build effective product strategies for your business and implement them from start to finish. This new edition features additional chapters on disruptive technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), quantum computing, data engineering, and machine learning. It also includes updated discussions on cloud-native architecture, blockchain data storage, and mainframe modernization with public cloud. The Solutions Architect's Handbook provides an understanding of solution architecture and how it fits into an agile enterprise environment. It will take you through the journey of solution architecture design by providing detailed knowledge of design pillars, advanced design patterns, anti-patterns, and the cloud-native aspects of modern software design. By the end of this handbook, you'll have learned the techniques needed to create efficient architecture designs that meet your business requirements. This book is for software developers, system engineers, DevOps engineers, architects, and team leaders who already work in the IT industry and aspire to become solutions architect professionals. Existing solutions architects who want to expand their skillset or get a better understanding of new technologies will also learn valuable new skills. To get started, you'll need a good understanding of the real-world software development process and general programming experience in any language.

Who this book is for?
This book is for software developers, system engineers, DevOps engineers, architects, and team leaders working in the IT industry, who aspire to become solution architects and are keen on designing secure, reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective architectures.
Who is solution architect?
A solution architect is a person who is responsible for designing solution architecture by collaborating across stakeholders. The solution architect analyzes the functional requirement and defines a non-functional requirement in order to cover all aspects of the solution and avoid any surprises.
What is solution architecture?
Solution architecture is about looking at all the aspects of the system in order to generate a technical vision, which provides steps to implement the business requirements.
This book guides readers to create a robust, scaled, highly available, and fault-tolerant solution by learning a different aspect of solution architecture and next-generation architecture design in a cloud environment.
Authors talk about different topics in IT industry and how you can use them to design and implement a solution. They also provide some reference architecture for different usage such as machine learning, IoT, IIoT, streaming architecture and etc. and explains most important aspect of them and don’t talk about their details and challenges.

This was a great book to read, and it really helped me solidify my understanding, on a lot of things I have done in some of the projects I have worked on.
The book gave a great overview on a lot of different topics, and although it was very high level, I did learn a lot. I even suggested it to a colleague of mine, so we can discuss some of the chapters, and exchange ideas.
Thank you so much for putting this together!

The authors made sure all the relevant grounds are covered when it comes to embracing a higher responsibility role. The book gives enough insights what one's responsibilities can be and what the business would be expecting from the new level in one's career.
I am on an eBook and the graphics are very neat.
The book is so comprehensive in context it touches all the possible scenarios and aspects of a modern and agile software development process.
My likes: everything data, but also ML and AI chapters.
Several bolding out points
Pros: all the widely known architecture design patterns covered. Terminology, jargon and concepts very well explained
Cons: too AWS centric in my view, deals with too specific tools (e.g. Memcached vs Redis discussion)
General advice: highly recommended

Generally speaking useful, however, the role of a "solution architect" can vary greatly among different organizations. I'd say the book is useful for learning the process of making architecture decisions whether you are a developer or an architect. I'm not an architect but this book helps me to appreciate various decisions made in the organization I work at.

This book isn't really for Solutions Architect. It's a mixture of Technical Architecture, DevOps and Solutions Architecture.
Hint: Whatever AWS calls "Solution Architect" on their certification isn't really what Solution Architect role is.
