What are some other books as fundamental as DDIA?


There seem to be no doubts regarding the quality and importance of DDIA for backend engineers. I keep rereading particular chapters over and over again and there are new things for me every time depending on what I encountered and thought about at work.

What are some really important and fundamental books especially for backend engineers that you consider to be at least close in quality to DDIA?

I often suffer from analysis paralysis so I whatever you come up with here, I will read within the next few months :)

And what is DDIA you say? I think its "Designing Data-Intensive Applications"

As an aside, please spell out what acronyms mean at least the first time you're using them, just so the rest of us can understand.
