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