Hey, I'm the author of Jocko. I've been working at Confluent the past four years.

I just finished writing a book that shows how to build similar distributed services from scratch, it walks though building a simple distributed commit log with built-in consensus and service discovery from nothing to deployment: https://pragprog.com/titles/tjgo/distributed-services-with-g...



Sounds just like the kind of book I wanna read. Unfortunately I wasn't able to pay for it due to "merchant configuration".

I imagine there are no region restrictions, right? I've already contacted support though.


I'm not sure, I haven't heard of that happening before. I've asked my editor if she knows what's up. You can email me at tj at my HN username dot com if you want to follow up.


I was able to get it sorted through support. Thank you :)


Heh, I just bought it based on PragProg newsletter :). Literally 5 minutes ago.


Awesome! Hope you enjoy reading the book and thanks for buying it.
