Ask HN: SICP equivalent for distributed system design

15 points by currio 3y ago ↗ HN

SICP is a good textbook for intermediatte (or advanced) students to learn about computer programming IMO.

Wondering if there is a equivalent for design and implementation of distributed systems.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann is fantastic. Great balance of breadth and depth, theoretical and practical.

It’s such a broad topic, but the book doesn’t cover resiliency. There’s no discussion of service meshes things like that.

I agree. Singlehandedly the reason for me passing my database exam. Very thorough and technical.
