The press
We commission from practitioners, not from the conference circuit. Every author here has operated the systems they write about — designed the control plane, signed off on the migration, or answered the page at three in the morning when it went wrong.
Manuscripts are reviewed by two engineers outside the author’s own organization, and every worked example is run against the real provider before it ships. When a service changes underneath a chapter, the author revises it and the new edition goes to existing readers at no charge.
