Kafka in Action (häftad, eng)

Kafka in Action is a practical, hands-on guide to building Kafka-based data pipelines. Filled with real-world use cases and scenarios, this book probes Kafka''s most common use cases, ranging from simple logging through managing streaming data systems for message routing, analytics, and more.

In systems that handle big data, streaming data, or fast data, it''s important to get your data pipelines right. Apache Kafka is a wicked-fast distributed streaming platform that operates as more than just a persistent log or a flexible message queue.

About the technology

Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform for logging and streaming data between services or applications. With Kafka, it''s easy to build applications that can act on or react to data streams as they flow through your system.

Operational data monitoring, large scale message processing, website activity tracking, log aggregation, and more are all possible with Kafka.

Dylan Scott is a software developer with over ten years of experience in Java and Perl. His experience includes implementing Kafka as a messaging system for a large data migration, and he uses Kafka in his work in the insurance industry.
