What people on Hacker News said
Alex Petrov’s Database Internals: A Deep Dive Into How Distributed Data Systems Work (2019) is another essential recent reference that should be here. Not as broad as Kleppmann but dives a lot deeper into certain topics.
These have been much more useful than IE the Cow book or "DB Systems The Complete Book" to me.
These two books have really opened my eyes to both better system design and implementation details.
