  1. Scalability Rules A great book to fundamentally understand key concepts in planning and execution that will help you scale your product vertically and horizontally. It’s simple, short, and sweet.
  2. Introduction to Algorithms My favorite rigorous algorithms book. This is my go-to guide when I’m solving a complex problem.
  3. Linux Pocket Guide A great practical and a solid guide to Linux: if you’re a beginner, it’s a good start, and if you know your way around in Linux, this is a great book to pull out when you have specific questions.
  4. Design Patterns My go-to book in picking the right design pattern for the right problem.
  5. Release-it About how to release scalable, highly reliable services. One of the best sections of this book is learning about the patterns and anti-patterns of scalable services.
