Solutions Architect's Handbook - Third Edition: Kick-start your career with architecture design principles, strategies, and generative AI techniques

This is my first book on this exciting field. It is definitely a very well written, is in-depth anf great help for elementary level person. But, I have a feeling that authors think and believe if the subjects is Solution Architecture then it should be mostly about Cloud and AWS. There is nothing wrong in that notion. I was looking for more information on a niche and futuristic area of Solutions Architecture… like on-premise and bare metal servers. Perhaps when the world returns back to on premises, private clouds…

I am happy to share the first review on Amazon from India. I recently bought this book and went through it at a very high level. What I feel is, this is a must-have book for all cloud enthusiasts, whether they are new to cloud or experienced and want to become a Solutions Architect. This book is really going to add value. Book binding quality is very poor.

Good book on covering foundation, focus on generalized content and examples from AWS services

This book contains massive useful information about the meaning of being a solution architect how it is important for an organization and how you will have fun with the career if you are in the role. This book is very useful for me who wants to be better in Tech career.

Haven’t read much of the book but the binding has started to fall apart and pages come out after 2 days .. Dissapointed that such a costly book has this quality of binding

All concepts are mentioned in detail. Love this book. I will strongly recommend this book who is preparing for solution architect.

This is the second book from Saurabh Shrivastava and a good read too. Covers most of the principal approaches in design and had vastness in the coverage, which is neat. I'm in initial read, a good book to start with if you on any cloud migration projects.

While contents are good but binding quality is very bad, pages starts coming out after few days of reading. I see many prior reviewers have complained about similar issues but publishers seems to have little interest in taking such feedback. There isn’t any improvement in the binding quality.

Adquiri a versão digital do "Solutions Architect's Handbook - Terceira Edição". O livro é uma leitura essencial para profissionais que desejam aprofundar seus conhecimentos sobre os princípios de design arquitetônico de sistemas. O livro oferece orientações práticas e claras, sendo uma ferramenta valiosa tanto para iniciantes quanto para profissionais experientes. Um dos maiores destaques é sua cobertura detalhada sobre arquitetura cloud-native e IA generativa. No entanto, o livro tende a focar excessivamente em Cloud AWS, o que pode não abranger todos os aspectos da arquitetura de soluções. Para superar essa limitação, seria benéfico incluir um capítulo comparativo entre as arquiteturas cloud mais relevantes, ampliando a perspectiva e aplicabilidade do conteúdo. Essa obra continua sendo uma referência indispensável para qualquer arquiteto de soluções, combinando teoria com práticas modernas e inovadoras.

Ok, let’s be clear : that book is a banger for any aspiring architect, especially this 3rd edition enriched by AI. You can expect from this book is: - having a wide vision of architecture - insights from projects and the successful behaviour for any architect - getting a overview of key topics and how to tackle them (managing stakeholders, managing budget, teams, technology issues…) - much more What you cannot expect : - having a zoom in detailed answer from a business case - having answers to a specific question (obvious right ?) - having a to do list of what to do on YOUR project. Finally, take this book as a reflection guide that will help you to understand quickly what’s the position of a solution architect on project.

An absolute must read for new, experienced, and aspiring Solutions Architects!

Je n’avais jamais lu une présentation aussi simple et digeste dès le 1er chapitre de ce qu’est un Architecte de solution

I recently had the pleasure of diving into the third edition of the "Solutions Architect's Handbook," and let me tell you, it's a gold mine of knowledge for both aspiring and seasoned solutions architects. The real-world scenarios and case studies peppered throughout the book not only made complex concepts digestible but also incredibly relatable. It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into making the content engaging and applicable to our daily challenges. The book covers a wide range of crucial topics, from cloud computing to microservices, and from security considerations to the ins and outs of DevOps. Its structured approach helps solidify a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to excel as a solutions architect. One of the most inspiring aspects for me was the discussion on the evolving role of solutions architects. It's an eye-opener on how crucial the role is in steering projects towards success in a digital-first world.
