The Tenement Revealed is a liberally illustrated guide to the construction of tenement housing across Scotland from 1700 to 1915, with detailed information about the changing methods and materials used. Numerous detailed drawings accompany the photographs, resulting in an attractive and accessible book that is equally relevant as a maintenance guide or historical account with relevance beyond Scotland. The period covered was a time of considerable social change, reflected through attention to law (e.g. around sanitation), land ownership, transportation (e.g. the development of canals and railways), colonialism, and the coming of fireplaces, oil lamps and electricity. In this context, the book considers the drivers which underpinned improvements such as the risk from fire, dry rot, collapse due to coal mines, and health problems (leading to installation of bathrooms and kitchens). The current and future impacts of climate change and carbon emissions on tenements are assessed and the author makes a plea for attention to breathable insulations, with an example of how this has been achieved in a tenement block in Glasgow. This comprehensive book is also a plea for good maintenance of this important type of urban housing, particularly in the light of climate change and addresses how maintenance and insulation of tenements can be achieved. This is of vital importance because increased rainfall due to climate change is damaging stone mortar, and the lack of insulation leads to more carbon emissions and to fuel poverty.

Delve into the second edition to master serverless proficiency and explore new chapters on security techniques, multi-regional deployment, and optimizing observability. Key Features Gain insights from a seasoned CTO on best practices for designing enterprise-grade software systems Deepen your understanding of system reliability, maintainability, observability, and scalability with real-world examples Elevate your skills with software design patterns and architectural concepts, including securing in-depth and running in multiple regions Book DescriptionOrganizations undergoing digital transformation rely on IT professionals to design systems to keep up with the rate of change while maintaining stability. With this edition, enriched with more real-world examples, you’ll be perfectly equipped to architect the future for unparalleled innovation. This book guides through the architectural patterns that power enterprise-grade software systems while exploring key architectural elements (such as events-driven microservices, and micro frontends) and learning how to implement anti-fragile systems. First, you'll divide up a system and define boundaries so that your teams can work autonomously and accelerate innovation. You'll cover the low-level event and data patterns that support the entire architecture while getting up and running with the different autonomous service design patterns. This edition is tailored with several new topics on security, observability, and multi-regional deployment. It focuses on best practices for security, reliability, testability, observability, and performance. You'll be exploring the methodologies of continuous experimentation, deployment, and delivery before delving into some final thoughts on how to start making progress. By the end of this book, you'll be able to architect your own event-driven, serverless systems that are ready to adapt and change.What you will learn Explore architectural patterns to create anti-fragile systems Focus on DevSecOps practices that empower self-sufficient, full-stack teams Apply microservices principles to the frontend Discover how SOLID principles apply to software and database architecture Gain practical skills in deploying, securing, and optimizing serverless architectures Deploy a multi-regional system and explore the strangler pattern for migrating legacy systems Master techniques for collecting and utilizing metrics, including RUM, Synthetics, and Anomaly detection Who this book is forThis book is for software architects who want to learn more about different software design patterns and best practices. This isn't a beginner's manual – you'll need an intermediate level of programming proficiency and software design experience to get started.You'll get the most out of this software design book if you already know the basics of the cloud, but it isn't a prerequisite.
