Nicely presented. The only thing I missed was that the patterns from the last part should have more comprehensive descriptions with examples how you can implement joining. And comparing to previous parts, this one contains only high level summary.

I don't think I can recommend it - although there are some interesting design patterns described there, most of this rather short book is about implementation details, with primary focus on k8s, and a shallow description of the patterns themselves

[Konstantin Trunin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very useful overview of patterns that can be used to deploy applications to Kubernetes. With lots of example yaml manifests - it's quite practical.
Nothing revolutionary - but I still suggest reading it to fill in all the gaps in knowledge about what and how can be done.

Pros:
• Easy-to-follow modular patterns
• Real-world Kubernetes examples
• Great for cloud-native developers

Cons:
• Too shallow for those seeking advanced system design theory
• Kubernetes-focused; limited to that ecosystem

[Andrey Martyanov · Rating 1 out of 5]

Totally useless reading and the title is very misleading. You will not find the information about distributed systems in this book.
