Building Event-Driven Microservices by Adam Bellemare is a book that provides practical insights into microservices and event-driven systems.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make with microservices (or any SOA) is to have synchronous calls where you don't have to. However, having asynchronous calls requires you to relearn many assumptions, especially for those coming from classic monolith architecture. This book can help you bridge the gap and help you make a transition from REST-only thinking to asynchronous messaging, event sourcing, and stream processing.
It's a fun, quick read, but maybe not as practical and helpful from my current viewpoint.
