Guide to Reliable Distributed Systems

What Hacker News says

   Guide to Reliable Distributed Systems by Kenneth P. Birman: gave me the same effect that the people who read DDIA/Designing Data Intensive Applications claimed it gave them.

   I first tried reading DDIA before it since it was newer and it had more hype. But DDIA is so dense that most of the things went over my head. Then I came across Ken Birman's book and I found it easier to follow. Although it had a hundred pages more than DDIA, it doesnt cover as much ground such as it didnt mention object storages. The niche topics were also better in DDIA, such as error correction schemes was only mentioned once in Birman's book. DDIA seems to be more complete. So I'll re-read DDIA again next year.

   Harassment Architecture: saw it on Amazon and I could never understand the humor behind the reviews for the book. So I tried a few pages, and something about it was gripping. All I could say is that I've never read anything like it.
