Ask HN: What are some other books as fundamental as DDIA?

15 pointsby dondraper36over 3 years ago
There seem to be no doubts regarding the quality and importance of DDIA for backend engineers. I keep rereading particular chapters over and over again and there are new things for me every time depending on what I encountered and thought about at work.<p>What are some really important and fundamental books especially for backend engineers that you consider to be at least close in quality to DDIA?<p>I often suffer from analysis paralysis so I whatever you come up with here, I will read within the next few months :)

And what is DDIA you say? I think its &quot;Designing Data-Intensive Applications&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dataintensive.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dataintensive.net&#x2F;</a>

As an aside, please spell out what acronyms mean at least the first time you&#x27;re using them, just so the rest of us can understand.
