Books
-
Designing Data-Intensive Applications ↗
Martin Kleppmann
The reference for how real systems store, move, and break data. Re-read it.
-
A Philosophy of Software Design
John Ousterhout
Deep modules, shallow interfaces. Changed how I scope abstractions.
-
Clean Architecture
Robert C. Martin
Take the boundaries, leave the dogma. Still the clearest layering primer.
