A friendly, framework-agnostic tutorial that will help you grok how
streaming systems work--and how to build your own!
In Grokking Streaming Systems you will learn how to:
Implement and troubleshoot streaming systems
Design streaming systems for complex functionalities
Assess parallelization requirements
Spot networking bottlenecks and resolve back pressure
Group data for high-performance systems
Handle delayed events in real-time systems
Grokking Streaming Systems is a simple guide to the complex concepts
behind streaming systems. This friendly and framework-agnostic tutorial
teaches you how to handle real-time events, and even design and build
your own streaming job that's a perfect fit for your needs. Each new
idea is carefully explained with diagrams, clear examples, and fun
dialogue between perplexed personalities!
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and
ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
Streaming systems minimize the time between receiving and processing
event data, so they can deliver responses in real time. For applications
in finance, security, and IoT where milliseconds matter, streaming
systems are a requirement. And streaming is hot! Skills on platforms
like Spark, Heron, and Kafka are in high demand.
About the book
Grokking Streaming Systems introduces real-time event streaming
applications in clear, reader-friendly language. This engaging book
illuminates core concepts like data parallelization, event windows, and
backpressure without getting bogged down in framework-specific details.
As you go, you'll build your own simple streaming tool from the ground
up to make sure all the ideas and techniques stick. The helpful and
entertaining illustrations make streaming systems come alive as you
tackle relevant examples like real-time credit card fraud detection and
monitoring IoT services.
