Speaking about scale and distributed systems: AWS specific resources I find interesting from their EdgeEngineering/NetEng teams (I haven't seen many other service teams in AWS openly share as much about design as them):
- https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/category/networkin... series of articles on Route53's 100% data-plane availability architecture [1].
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8xLxNje30M colmmacc [2] (seems to be the eng behind AWS HyperPlane [3][4]?) on 10 design patterns for building resilient systems.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swQbA4zub20 Peter Vosshall (co-creator of Dynamo [5]) presenting "cell-based" design in-use at AWS.
