Designing Data-Intensive Applications

One of the best books that I've read on the topic for industry,
Many valuable lessons in there.

A broad overview of both problem space and solution space, covering use cases and concepts of data-intensive & distributed systems with relevant examples. Perfect if you want to see the bigger picture and understand the “whys” of solutions and tradeoffs.

Packed full of straightforward, immediately applicable information for data professionals. I thought it got a bit in the weeds at the end but that might have been my own fatigue.

This book is a must-read for any software engineer.

Mandatory reading if you work in distributed systems.
