Thank you. I hope more companies would abandon the form-then-download approach, and understand that if someone is interested in the products, people will eventually get in touch.

But then how will they mine emails for sales leads?

This is surprisingly informative.

I still prefer classical scientific books. This book is too much tool driven. I need the actual concept.

adamnemecek2• 8 years ago

Like which ones? And I do agree but going from theory to practice can be super tricky.

Can someone compare this to Martin Kleppman's awesome book "Designing Data Intensive Applications"? I'm wondering if this book is like the old IBM, etc. whitepapers which quietly tried to sell technologies from the writer's company?

I think Designing Data Intensive Applications covers more than this, but this still looks interesting, perhaps a potentially nice (and free) read before diving into the other one. Doesn't seem whitepaper-y at all.

The books are similar but very different at the same time.

Martin's book takes an application focused approach. How do I think about changes to my data in a distributed environment? You can see this thinking in the projects he's been involved with on Kafka and at LinkedIn.

Brendan, however take on distributed system is from the angle of heterogenous distributed workloads and the architectural blocks needed for running such systems reliably. Note that Burns worked at Google and was one of the founders of Kubernetes so you will find a bit of a container orchestration slant in the book too.

Another short read I like that's more focused on theory is this: http://book.mixu.net/distsys/
