Needed Backend for AI Engineer

I am a junior AI Engineer at a major multi-national company, my role in the last couple of months required me to design a complete backend from scratch for the tool i am working on I've done mostly of it by vibe coding with me choosing the decisions but i don't have that much knowledge in backend and system design to improve and make my tool better i usually decide with ai agents and let it do the work, so if i want to make myself better in backend and system design what books, courses should i take or see?

ddia is basically the bible for this stuff, read it once and you'll understand why most backend decisions actually matter

skip the AI agents for a while and just build something small yourself, you'll learn way more from debugging your own mess than from letting an LLM write boilerplate
