2nd paragraph under "Adding a Health Monitor"

The text uses "shell script" two times when referring to logic to implement health checks. However the code sample a few pages later (unexpectedly) uses Go. For clarity, it might be worth removing "shell" entirely from this description since the OS Shell is not being used, and just using "script".

3rd paragraph

This sentence seems to miss a word: "These event pipelines often resemble the flowcharts of old."

Figure 10-2, Figure 12-3

Figure 10-2: caption is "reusable system containers are shown in white while the user-supplied container is shown in grey/blue" but it seems opposite colour code is used for this figure.

Figure 12-3: This figure is about sharded image blurring but, after sharder, it shows two work queues "delete work queue" and "image process work queue" (not introduced yet) and doesn't mention the worker to detect a licence plate and the worker to blur it.

Thanks for this great book!

1st and 3rd paragraphs on page 114

Hey Brendan and everyone involved with this great book,

On page 114, one phrase is written twice. First in the 1st paragraph and then again on the 3rd paragraph.

The phrase that is repeated is : « This dramatically simplifies the task of building a work queue ».

HTH,

David

histogram at top of page, after first sentence

The histogram shows the number of children on the left, and the percentage of families on the right. I would expect the total number of percentages to equal 100, or perhaps less if some families had a higher number of children. But these percentages add up to 105%, which should not be possible.
