A new reading list for distributed systems has been made available, aiming to help readers change their way of thinking when designing and working with distributed systems. The list, compiled by an expert in the field, includes papers that explore important elements of distributed systems design, as well as tradeoffs between consistency and availability. The list also touches on the culture and organization needed to work effectively with distributed systems. Key takeaways include the need for a shift in thinking and the importance of understanding algorithms like Paxos.
