Step zero is definitely the OTP Design Principles doc (part of the OTP distribution):
https://www.erlang.org/doc/design_principles/users_guide
There are some good texts that have more examples:
Erlang & OTP in Action - https://www.manning.com/books/erlang-and-otp-in-action
Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP - https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-for-scalabili...
One big example of distributed Erlang is Riak:

Just to add to this, there are some implementations of things like consensus algorithms in Erlang such as Ra: https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra
Making cluster fault tolerant is an art on its own in Erlang ;)
Riak Core is extremely cool, but Riak is dead by now. It was a child of the times when NoSQL was cool. Still, basho code is interesting to read. (https://github.com/basho/riak_core)
Self-ads: we've tried to remove Mnesia from our project, HN post incoming, once the library is prettified and tested hard (https://github.com/esl/cets).
