I have a close friend who started to learn programming. He want to be a backend web developer. It’s a great book about building scalable websites https://www.amazon.com/Building-Scalable-Web-Sites-Applications/dp/0596102356 but it was written in 2005 and now we have clouds and containers.

So, a question is. Is there a modern version of this book or on this topic? Could you recommend any title?

Thanks a lot for any tips ;-)

Tom
