Stream Processing and Mining just got more interesting

[A version of this post appears on the O’Reilly Strata blog.] Largely unknown outside data engineering circles, Apache Kafka is one of the more popular open source, distributed computing projects. Many data engineers I speak with either already use it or are planning to do so. It is a distributed message broker used to store1Continue reading “Stream Processing and Mining just got more interesting”

How Twitter monitors millions of time-series

[A version of this post appears on the O’Reilly Strata blog.] One of the keys to Twitter’s ability to process 500 millions tweets daily is a software development process that values monitoring and measurement. A recent post from the company’s Observability team detailed the software stack for monitoring the performance characteristics of software services, andContinue reading “How Twitter monitors millions of time-series”

Running batch and long-running, highly available service jobs on the same cluster

[A version of this post appears on the O’Reilly Strata blog.] As organizations increasingly rely on large computing clusters, tools for leveraging and efficiently managing compute resources become critical. Specifically, tools that allow multiple services and frameworks run on the same cluster can significantly increase utilization and efficiency. Schedulers1 take into account policies and workloadsContinue reading “Running batch and long-running, highly available service jobs on the same cluster”
