Hi, my dear Cloud Marathoner community!
A few weeks ago, I received an AWS book from Packt – “Solution Architect’s Handbook”, authored by Saurabh Shrivastava and Neelanjali Srivastav. This post will share my review with the #CloudCommunity.
The third edition of theย Solutions Architectโs Handbookย is an invaluable resource for cloud engineers, developers, and architects. The book provides much-needed guidance on embracing cloud-native architectures and microservices. It addresses the urgent need for operational resiliency, disaster recovery, and business continuity, making it a must-have for professionals navigating the complexities of todayโs cloud-centric environment.

The bookโs comprehensive coverage spans from cloud migration and modernization to the cutting edge of machine learning and GenAl. It skillfully bridges the gap between legacy modernization, including mainframe considerations, and the latest in GenAl foundation models and tools. This deep dive into the trends shaping the future of architectural design is both enlightening and practical.
What sets this book apart?
What sets theย Solutions Architectโs Handbookย apart is its holistic approach. It covers a wide range of crucial aspects, from functional architectures and integration to extensibility, reusability, usability, accessibility, cost management, and security. The breadth of topics and practical insights make it a must-read for both aspiring and seasoned architects.
