Working with PostgreSQL: Adjustment and Scaling (4th Edition) and Cooking Infrastructure by Chef (1st Edition)

Good afternoon, habrovchane. Today I want to present the result of almost a year of work - two free books.

The first book has been around for quite some time, and some of you may know it. “Working with PostgreSQL: tuning and scaling” (fourth edition) tells us what a PostgreSQL database is and how much useful it can be done with it. The book has updated sections on replication (new Londiste, Bucardo, BDR), added new extensions and examples of their use. Also made cleaning sections with the editing on the current version of the database.

The second book is called Cooking Infrastructure by Chef . This book is written in English, so that more interested engineers can read it. The book tells what Chef is, how to start working with it and how it can help you to automate your IT infrastructure (newfangled DevOps trend). In the book, I tried to reveal all the most important aspects in working with Chef.



As always, both books are Open Source ( CC-BY-NC ). Source codes can be looked at github.

Enjoy reading and study!
