Learning and Operating Presto

The Presto community has mushroomed since its origins at Facebook in 2012. But ramping up this open source distributed SQL query engine can be challenging even for the most experienced engineers. With this practical book, data engineers and architects, platform engineers, cloud engineers, and software engineers will learn how to use Presto operations at your organization to derive insights on datasets wherever they reside. Authors Angelica Lo Duca, Tim Meehan, Vivek Bharathan, and Ying Su explain what Presto is, where it came from, and how it differs from other data warehousing solutions. You'll discover why Facebook, Uber, Alibaba Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Intel, and many more use Presto and how you can quickly deploy Presto in production. With this book, you will: Learn how to install and configure Presto Use Presto with business intelligence tools Understand how to connect Presto to a variety of data sources Extend Presto for real-time business insight Learn how to apply best practices and tuning Get troubleshooting tips for logs, error messages, and more Explore Presto's architectural concepts and usage patterns Understand Presto security and administration

Mastering Apache Pulsar

Every enterprise application creates data, including log messages, metrics, user activity, and outgoing messages. Learning how to move these items is almost as important as the data itself. If you're an application architect, developer, or production engineer new to Apache Pulsar, this practical guide shows you how to use this open source event streaming platform to handle real-time data feeds. Jowanza Joseph, staff software engineer at Finicity, explains how to deploy production Pulsar clusters, write reliable event streaming applications, and build scalable real-time data pipelines with this platform. Through detailed examples, you'll learn Pulsar's design principles, reliability guarantees, key APIs, and architecture details, including the replication protocol, the load manager, and the storage layer. This book helps you: Understand how event streaming fits in the big data ecosystem Explore Pulsar producers, consumers, and readers for writing and reading events Build scalable data pipelines by connecting Pulsar with external systems Simplify event-streaming application building with Pulsar Functions Manage Pulsar to perform monitoring, tuning, and maintenance tasks Use Pulsar's operational measurements to secure a production cluster Process event streams using Flink and query event streams using Presto
