Throughout the week, I read a lot of blog-posts, articles, and so forth that has to do with things that interest me:
- AI/data science
- data in general
- data architecture
- streaming
- 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.
Databases
- Change Data Capture for Distributed Databases @Netflix. In this Infoq presentation, the presenter covers the challenges associated with capturing CDC events from Cassandra, discussing the Flink ecosystem and the use of RocksDB. Very interesting!
Streaming
- Why query planning for streaming systems is hard. This post looks at some of the issues of doing query plans for streaming systems. Really interesting, and I would like to hear more about this.
- Cooling down hot data: From Kafka to Athena. The post linked to looks at how to move data from online Kafka Clusters to a data lake for long term data retention, analytics, legal requirements, and as input for machine learning.
- Introducing Confluent for Kubernetes. This post looks at Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK), a cloud-native control plane for deploying and managing Confluent in private cloud environments. It provides a standard and simple interface to customize, deploy, and manage Confluent Platform through declarative APIs.
WIND (What Is Niels Doing)
A couple of days ago, I received some very good news:
Figure 1: Big Data & Analytics
As you see in Figure 1 I will be giving a training class at the 2021 Data Platform Summit. The class is Big Data & Analytics with SQL Server 2019 Big Data Cluster. So right now, I am creating the content for that class - it will be awesome.
If you are interested, sign up for the class. When signing up, you also get free access to the Summit! Hope to see you there!
