Streaming Systems: The What, Where, When, and How of Large-Scale Data Processing
Streaming Systems explores the theory and practice of building large-scale data processing systems that handle unbounded, real-time data streams. The book introduces the fundamental concepts of stream processing, event time, and windowing, and provides practical guidance for designing robust, scalable, and maintainable streaming architectures. It draws on the authors’ experience developing Google’s data processing frameworks such as MillWheel and Apache Beam.

The Evolution of Data Processing: From Batch to Streaming
For decades, batch processing reigned supreme. Early systems like MapReduce were designed to chew through vast, bounded datasets. The implicit assumption was that the data had an end—that it could be collected, stored, and processed as a whole. While this model proved remarkably powerful, the world ...

Defining Streaming Data: The Nature of Unboundedness
Streaming data is unbounded. It has no natural conclusion, no ‘final record.’ Every second new events arrive, perhaps late, perhaps out of order, perhaps duplicated. That incessant flow introduces beautiful complexity. Traditional algorithms that assume a finite input suddenly break down when faced ...
