Trying to Level Up

Since transitioning to DevOps, I know there are gaps in my current skillset vs what I learned with test automation. Some of those areas are Cloud Architecture, Scalability, and Storage.

How should you scale a given application to handle load based on traffic? What type of Load Balancer should we use, ALB or NLB? Should we use relational databases or NoSQL database for storing certain types of data?

These are some of the questions I want to know and it very highly dependent on your applications as well as infrastrucuture.

Came across this book: Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems: https://lnkd.in/gkQm5uEP

to hopefully fill in some of those gaps while am getting my feet wet with projects at work and on my own time.

Has anyone read this book or similar ones?
