It's about 1000x better than "Designing Distributed Systems" which is basically just a book about Kubernetes. (Should have known, since its written by Brendan Burns).

For now, when adopting FaaS, you must be vigilant to adopt rigorous monitoring and
alerting for how your system is behaving so that you can detect situations and correct
them before they become significant problems. Of course, the complexity introduced
by monitoring flies somewhat in the face of the simplicity of deploying to FaaS, which
is friction that your developers must overcome.

I haven't read Designing Distributed Systems, but I have read Designing Data-Intensive Applications [0] and it was fantastic.

An overview of databases (what and why, but also a lot of how) plus distributed concepts and modern architectures.

Unfortunately doesn't seem to be good books out there or I don't know about them. The "Data intensive applications" book is highly praised but focused in databases. The other "Designing Distributed Systems:" O'Reilly book is solely about Kubernetes. The "Scalable Internet Architecture" is trash (sorry).

The best source for distributed computing I found is Facebook's engineering blog.

Out of my head, of relevant interest in the distributed systems field are the following books:

They encompass most of the topics you've enumerated earlier.

I passed the triplebyte interview.

Physics major (Bachelors of Science) turned software developer. One year as a backend developer at a common lisp shop. Looking for a linux based company. (macOS as workstation computer/laptops is great too!). Avid learner, I try to read and learn as much as possible, I've recently gone through Designing Data Intensive Applications, and Designing Distributed Systems.
Would be glad to work at a company that uses a functional language, such as Haskell, especially if they don't expect new employees to come in already knowing the language. Also highly interested in companies using Rust, python, or go.

Ambitious: only been at the company a year and spent a significant amount of time this summer directing an intern, overhauled the build system the company uses internally (set up jenkins over previous system).

Eager to learn as much as I can.

This book is recommended:

Designing Distributed Systems: Patterns and Paradigms for Scalable, Reliable Services

Operate on first principles, what do you need to know to be a "successful" programmer in the technical, social, and/or ideological context.

Data Structures and their relationship with each other to be a great technical programmer. These books (just highlight not everything) I would think -> Algorithms Sedgewick, Lisp Programmers Manual, Designing Distributed Systems. .To be a great collaborative programmer (in a work enviornment) -> Pragmattic Programmer, Code Complete, Mythical Man Month, A Philsophy of Software Design by Ousterhout. For philsophy of programming itself -> The Soul of a Machine

Edit: Programming is very broad and operates in many context from the technical, social, to the ideas behind it. I would say it is almost to early to have those definitive fundamental books
