Magnus Larsson has been in the IT industry for 35 years, working as a consultant for large companies in Sweden such as Volvo, Ericsson, and AstraZeneca. In the past, he struggled with the challenges associated with distributed systems. Today, these challenges can be handled with open source tools such as Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, and Istio. Over the last years, Magnus has been helping customers use these tools and has also given several presentations and written blog posts on the subject.

I would like to thank the following people:

Caitlin Meadows, Lucy Wan, Rianna Rodrigues, and Aniket Shetty from Packt Publishing for their support.

To my wife, Maria, thank you for all of your support and understanding throughout the process of writing this book.

Kirill Merkushev is an engineer with a wide background in server-side development, infrastructure, and test automation. Starting off as an intern in Personal Services at Yandex, he quickly became a team lead, helping others to automate any kind of development process. He worked on a number of internal projects with amazing people who really love their job! In that kind of environment, it was incredibly easy for him to learn new approaches, frameworks, and languages. Given the size of Yandex and its services, it was a great chance to try out things at scale. For example, early reactive libraries in Java, the freshly released Spring Boot, the rock-solid Apache Camel, and golang.

During that time he became an open source expert, maintaining several projects including the Jenkins GitHub plugin, Aerokube Selenoid, and dozens of small libraries. After 7 years at Yandex, an opportunity to work in Germany in a small but quite promising health-tech startup called Vivy brought him to Berlin, where new challenges emerged, like how to build an event-sourced system, use encryption for good, and operate an internal Apache Pulsar cluster.

Now he is a happy power user of Testcontainers, father of two kids, Brompton rider, and a reviewer of this book!

I'd like to thank Sergei Egorov, who has shared tons of knowledge with me; Andrei Andryashin, who helped me with my first server-side development issues; Artem Eroshenko, who taught me how to give my first public talks; obviously, my wife, who makes it possible for me to code and review books in a comfortable environment any time of day; and my sons, who can already understand that daddy is actually working when he sits all day long in front of a PC!
