About The Author

I am Dominik Tornow. I am a principal engineer and specialize in systems modeling, particularly conceptual and formal modeling, to enhance the development and the documentation of distributed software systems. I have 15 years of experience at companies like Cisco, SAP, and Temporal. I write articles and blog posts, and am a frequent speaker at flagship conferences including Strangeloop and KubeCon.

I struggled to find comprehensive resources while learning distributed systems. That's why I wrote this book – to share my knowledge and experience I gained over my career.
