About this Item

Paperback. "A must-read for engineers and solution architects who work with streams on a regular basis." - Damian Esteban Every action by a user or a system process generates valuable data for your application or organization. Streaming systems capture and process these events, turning disconnected bits into coherent, useful information sources. Grokking Streaming Systems is a simple guide to the complex concepts you need to start building your own streaming systems. In this friendly, framework-agnostic tutorial, you'll learn how to handle real-time events and how to design and implement a system that's a perfect fit for your needs. Each new idea is carefully explained with diagrams, clear examples, and fun dialogue between perplexed personalities! about the technologyMany modern organizations rely on real-time event data to ensure top performance. In its raw state, most event data is unfiltered and hard to analyze. Streaming systems address this problem by processing event data so it can be used to create alerts, analysis dashboards, and automated responses, and to trigger other actions within a system. From live financial information to monitoring for signs of a DDoS attack and blocking rogue agents, streaming systems provide a big boost to the health, security, and flexibility of your applications. about the bookGrokking Streaming Systems helps you unravel what streaming systems are, how they work, and whether they're right for your business. Written to be tool-agnostic, you'll be able to apply what you learn no matter which framework you choose. You'll start with the key concepts and then work your way through increasingly complex examples, including tracking a real-time count of IoT sensor events and detecting fraudulent credit card transactions in real-time. You'll even be able to easily experiment with your own streaming system, by downloading the custom-built and super-simplified streaming framework designed for this book. By the time you're done, you'll be able to easily assess the capabilities of streaming frameworks, and solve common challenges that arise when building streaming systems. what's inside- Implement and troubleshoot streaming systems- Design streaming systems for complex functionalities- Assess parallelization requirements- Spot networking bottlenecks and resolve back pressures- Group data for high-performance systems- Handle delayed events in real-time systems about the readerFor readers interested in data processing.

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.
