Just had a copy of a book I see mentioned frequently arrive in the post - not sure if it's an end-to-end read or one to dip in and out of, but must make some time to have a proper look!

@airadam one of the very few technical books I’ve read cover to cover.
@theory How easy a read did you find it?

@airadam It took me a while, and some parts were admittedly over my head and dense. But it's well-written and, IIRC, even mildly entertaining. It was pretty easy for a tech book, but not compared to, say Murderbot Diaries 🤣

My five-star review was brief:

“Super thorough and illuminating. A must read for any designer of data systems.”

Review by itheory - Designing Data-Intensive Applications

Super thorough and illuminating. A must read for any designer of data systems.

@airadam I started reading this a week or two ago! Not super far into it, but I definitely understand now why its recommended so much!

Im always skeptical by "must read books" but I recommend it!
