Grokking 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.

2. Many 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.

3. Grokking Streaming Systems is a
simple guide to the complex
concepts you need to start building
your own streaming systems.
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!
