Distributed Services with Go is a great learn-by-building book for distributed systems: https://pragprog.com/titles/tjgo/distributed-services-with-g...

> This book walks the reader through building a real-world software project (a self-contained, persistent event-stream service) from start to finish. There isn’t a book that walks through building a complete system like this in any language. This book introduces distributed systems practically, explaining the pieces that make up a distributed system and showing how they fit together.

Dude this is honestly probably the best technical book I’ve ever read. It’s also pretty advanced, but very generous to ward the curious learner.

For reference, I read this book to learn Go. Also I learned how to implement Raft from this book . 10/10
