A really great book about distributed, data-intensive systems design

No rating

This is THE book if anybody wants to go deep about distributed, data-intensive application design. Unexpectedly not only it explains so deeply new database technologies and paradigms, but it also narrates and states the situation as-it-is, the future challenges that a software engineer will face, and what led to them. If you're looking for growth as a software engineer, this has to go into your library.

Review of 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' on 'Goodreads'

If you are working on distributed systems or data storage systems, then it is a must read book for you. To make the best use of the book, one will have to read it, re-read it and keep it at his desk to refer. It covers many topics which I use in my day to day work. Most of the books in this area are either too theoretical or focus on the details of one or few frameworks. In contrast, the book covers the basic concepts which makes the book really valuable.
