You don't need a book -- just follow the KISS principle and you'll be all right. IMHO a system that is able to keep its data in plain-text json or CSS files stands a better chance of success than one that stuffs it into proprietary databases and weird binary formats. Mind you, it always depends on the nature of the data and the skillset of the team. Like most things, the easiest and simplest path is not a universal absolute, but heavily contingent upon circumstance. Perhaps if you could provide more details of your particular problem, I could provide more detailed help....
