Kafka: The Definitive Guide. Real-Time Data and Stream Processing at Scale

Аннотация

Who Should Read This Book. Kafka: The Definitive Guide was written for software engineers who develop applications that use Kafka’s APIs and for production engineers (also called SREs, devops, or sysadmins) who install, configure, tune, and monitor Kafka in production. We also wrote the book with data architects and data engineers in mind those responsible for designing and building an organization’s entire data infrastructure. Some of the chapters, especially chapters 3, 4, and 11 are geared toward Java developers. Those chapters assume that the reader is familiar with the basics of the Java programming language, including topics such as exception handling and concurrency. Other chapters, especially chapters 2, 8, 9, and 10, assume the reader has some experience running Linux and some familiarity with storage and network configuration in Linux. The rest of the book discusses Kafka and software architectures in more general terms and does not assume special knowledge.
