Index

Browse by technology.

Every chapter that devotes substantive coverage to a given technology. Use this when you want to read about PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or another product by name rather than by topic. Passing mentions do not qualify — a chapter appears under a technology only when it dedicates a full section or uses it as the primary example.

How this index works

Generated at build time from the technologies: frontmatter on each chapter and a canonical allowlist at scripts/technologies.json. Chapters without a technologies: field do not appear here — Part 3 distributed-systems theory, for example, is about algorithms and patterns, not specific products.

A navigation layer

This page is a navigation layer, not a replacement for reading in curriculum order. Each chapter teaches the concept first, then uses the technology as a concrete example. The chapter is always deeper than this index.
