Services Engineering Reading List
A curated reading list of essential papers, posts, and books for engineers building and operating cloud infrastructure services.
What is Services Engineering Reading List?
The Services Engineering Reading List is a curated collection of essential resources for engineers building and operating cloud infrastructure services. It compiles foundational academic papers, influential blog posts, presentations, and books that cover distributed systems principles, reliability engineering, and operational best practices. The list serves as a knowledge base to help engineers understand the theory and real-world experiences behind scalable, resilient service architectures.
Infrastructure engineers, site reliability engineers (SREs), backend developers, and technical leaders who design, build, or operate cloud-based distributed systems and want to deepen their understanding of foundational concepts.
It saves engineers significant time by aggregating high-quality, vetted resources in one place, providing a structured learning path through decades of distributed systems wisdom. Unlike scattered blog posts or generic reading lists, it focuses specifically on cloud infrastructure services and includes both academic research and practical industry experiences.
