Pretty solid book. There are some surprising omissions in WSSE (such as not discussing the difference between statement- vs. row-based replication), and some of the information is now outdated. But overall, I would say it’s a great introduction if you’re just trying to get your bearings with system design. I think of it as a more-accessible, less-academic, less-high-quality version of Designing Data-Intensive Applications (which you should definitely read as a follow-up).
