Logistics on Rails

Beschreibung

Designing resilient, scalable supply-chain systems with event-driven architecture, covering real-time tracking, inventory, carrier integration, event modeling, and production operations.
Logistics on Rails explores how to design reliable, scalable supply-chain systems using event-driven architecture. It focuses on systems that must remain responsive, consistent, and resilient while coordinating operations across warehouses, carriers, shipments, inventory, and delivery workflows. The book covers practical architectural approaches for modeling logistics operations as meaningful events, designing evolvable event schemas, building real-time shipment tracking and visibility, managing inventory with eventual consistency, and integrating with unreliable external carriers through asynchronous patterns. It also addresses complex workflow coordination using the Saga pattern, failure and retry handling, system scalability and recovery, and the operational challenges of running event-driven logistics platforms in production.
