Throughout the week, I read a lot of blog-posts, articles, and so forth, that has to do with things that interest me:
- data science
- data in general
- distributed computing
- SQL Server
- transactions (both db as well as non db)
- and other “stuff”
This blog-post is the “roundup” of the things that have been most interesting to me, for the week just ending.
SQL Server
- Check out what’s new in June 2019 version of Azure SQL Database managed instance. A blog post from Microsoft, looking at new features and functionality in Azure Managed SQL Server. What is especially cool is that it is available in the South African data-centers, yay!
Streaming
- Deploying Kafka Streams and KSQL with Gradle – Part 3: KSQL User-Defined Functions and Kafka Streams. This blog post is the third part in a series about using Gradle to deploy Kafka Streams and KSQL queries. This post covers using Gradle to build and deploy KSQL user-defined functions (UDFs) and Kafka Streams microservices.
- KSQL Training for Hands-On Learning. This is a “short and sweet” post discussing a new Udemy KSQL course. The post also contains a link to a special offer for the course: only USD 9.99! I had a quick look and signed up on the spot!
WIND (What Is Niels Doing)
Stay tuned for the first post in a series looking at how to get data out of SQL Server, and into a streaming world. I am doing the last “bits and pieces” on it, and I should be able to publish in a day or two. In the meantime, here are some posts that give you background to the new post:
- Microsoft SQL Server R Services: sp_execute_external_script - I - When calling out to R/Python/Java you do it from a specific procedure:
sp_execute_external_script. This is the first post of three looking atsp_execute_external_script. - Microsoft SQL Server R Services - sp_execute_external_script - II - The second post about
sp_execute_external_script. - Microsoft SQL Server R Services: sp_execute_external_script - III - The third post about
