I’m trying to build more of an intuition around distributed systems. I’ve read DDIA and worked professionally on some very large systems, but I’m wondering what resources are good for getting more on the pulse of what the latest best practices and cutting edge technologies are. Your comment sounds like you have that context so any advice for folks like me?
The best practices are built on solid first principles, and you can get a pretty good grip on them from the High Scalability archives. Back when they posted actual tech articles, their content was some of the best available anywhere. Since you've read DDIA you will probably get quite a lot out of the archive. In fact, you should be able to identify at least some of the unstated problems.
