What are some good text books or resources on streaming and queues?

I have never used Kafka or had to maintain queues with more than a hundred jobs per hour. Most of the jobs queues I've had to maintain are doing simple things like sending emails or updating a third party API.

I've always resorted to simpler distributed redis based job queues such as kue [0], bull [1], celery [2] or resque [3].

I would like to learn more about distributed queues and architectures from first principles. Where is a good place to go?
