As for actual best, Tenebaum’s Distributed Systems was a key read for me starting my career as a first year developer working on large backend systems. I’ve probably forgotten 95% of the content, but it helped me develop intuition for the reasons and tradeoffs of system decision decisions.
It surely was part of my Informatics Engineering degree, with Tanenbaum book being one of the required reads.
Distributed Systems by Tanenbaum is a great complement to DDIA. It requires a more significant time and energy investment however
It's missing the bible. Andrew Tanenbaum's Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms.
