Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a really good reading list devoted to distributed systems. If you're just learning about them, start here. You'll find accessible accounts of some of the key considerations (with odd-sounding names like Paxos consensus, Byzantime Generals, consistency models, and gossip protocols.

If you don't like this reading list, here's another. Image: Stanislav Kozlovski, who offers a nice introduction to all of it.
