Distributed Systems
"Distributed Systems," the material has been thoroughly revised and extended, integrating principles and paradigms into nine chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Architectures 3. Processes 4. Communication 5. Naming 6. Coordination 7. Replication 8. Fault tolerance 9. Security A separation has been made between basic material and more specific subjects. The latter have been organized into boxed sections, which may be skipped on first reading.To assist in understanding the more algorithmic parts, example programs in Python have been included. The examples in the book leave out many details for readability, but the complete code is available through the book's Website, hosted at www.distributed-systems.net.

What Hacker News says
- The right book for the right problem. SICP isn't meant to teach you how to tackle fault-tolerance in a complex distributed system. Here is a textbook that talks about distributed systems (van Steen and Tannenbaum):
https://www.amazon.ca/Distributed-Systems-Maarten-van-Steen/...
- Distributed Systems by Van Steen and Tanenbaum is very good and freely bailable:
- Andrew Tanenbaum's Distributed Systems is the gold standard textbook on the subject. https://www.distributed-systems.net/index.php/books/ds4/
- Imho one of the best guides by far is "Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Maarten Van Steen, I have learned the deep foundamentals regarding distributed systems there.
- Distributed Systems by Tanenbaum is a great complement to DDIA. It requires a more significant time and energy investment however
- Code by Charlse Petzold.
