About

Marcus has spent 14 years building the kind of distributed systems that quietly run the internet — order pipelines, multi-region data stores, and the boring-but-critical plumbing in between. He led capacity and reliability work on systems serving hundreds of millions of users at Amazon, and now teaches the trade-offs behind the diagrams, not just the diagrams themselves.
