Data Engineering - Tools & Intro

Data Engineering - Tools & Intro So I just realized that I am here after a month or so. I was busy at work and traveling. I am starting a kind of new series, I say it Data Engineering Series in which I will be discussing different tools. Of course, I am not able to discuss the entire concept of Data Engineering neither I know it as I will be learning myself. What is Data Engineering? Data Engineering is all about developing, maintaining systems that are responsible for transferring data in large volumes and make it available for analysts and data scientists to use it for analyzing and data modeling. Data engineering is a superset of Data Science or the subset, not clear to me but the collaboration of data engineers and scientists fruits useful data-driven solutions. Data Engineering tools It consists of several tools. Some are dealing with data storage while others with analysis and ETL. Ofcourse, Apache Kafka is one of them. The others tools that I might be covering are Apache Airflow, an ETL tool and Hadoop Ecosystem components like HDFS, Hive, Yarn, Pig etc. There is no such specific roadmap so tools can be covered in any order. Since I mostly work in Python, Java so will be trying my best to find some way to interact with Python or Java but it is not necessary as most of Hadoop related systems are in either Java or Scala. So, stay tuned and I will be back shortly with the new post.

Automatic Builds With GCP Cloud Build

Automatic Builds With GCP Cloud Build If you are looking for an easy way to automatically build your application in the cloud, then maybe Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Build is for you. In this post, we will build a Spring Boot Maven project with Cloud Build, create a Docker image for it, and push it to GCP Container Registry. 1. Introduction Cloud Build is the build server tooling of GCP, something similar as Jenkins. But, Cloud Build is available out-of-the-box in your GCP account and that is a major advantage. The only thing you will need is a build configuration file in your git repository containing the build steps. Each build step is running in its own Docker container. Several cloud builders which can be used as a build step are generally available. You can read more about Cloud Build on the  overview  and  concepts  website of GCP. There are three categories of build steps: Official  cloud builders provided by GCP; Community  cloud ...

gRPC with Java : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API & Microservices using Protocol Buffers

gRPC Java Master Class : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API for your Microservice using gRPC Protocol Buffers gRPC is a revolutionary and modern way to define and write APIs for your microservices. The days of REST, JSON and Swagger are over! Now writing an API is easy, simple, fast and efficient. gRPC is created by Google and Square, is an official CNCF project (like Docker and Kubernetes) and is now used by the biggest tech companies such as Netflix, CoreOS, CockRoachDB, and so on! gRPC is very popular and has over 15,000 stars on GitHub (2 times what Kafka has!). I am convinced that gRPC is the FUTURE for writing API for microservices so I want to give you a chance to learn about it TODAY. Amongst the advantage of gRPC: 1) All your APIs and messages are simply defined using Protocol Buffers 2) All your server and client code for any programming language gets generated automatically for free! Saves you hours of programming 3) Data is compact and serialised 4) API ...

EVENT DRIVEN MICROSERVICES

EVENT BASED MICROSERVICES - Event Sourcing In a Microservice Architecture, especially with Database per Microservice, the Microservices need to exchange data. For resilient, highly scalable, and fault-tolerant systems, they should communicate asynchronously by exchanging Events. In such a case, you may want to have Atomic operations, e.g., update the Database and send the message. If you have SQL databases and want to have distributed transactions for a high volume of data, you cannot use the two-phase locking (2PL) as it does not scale. If you use NoSQL Databases and want to have a distributed transaction, you cannot use 2PL as many NoSQL databases do not support two-phase locking. In such scenarios, use Event based Architecture with Event Sourcing. In traditional databases, the Business Entity with the current “state” is directly stored. In Event Sourcing, any state-changing event or other significant events are stored instead of the entities. It means the modifications of a Busines...
