FWIW, the article mentions the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann. I wanted to throw out my own endorsement for the book, it's been instrumental in helping me design my own fairly intensive data pipeline.

- teacpde 9y agoNice, I thoroughly enjoy those maps at the beginning of each chapter.
- sunnykgupta 9y ago+1 for DDIA by Kleppmann!
- dswalter 9y agoIt's such a wonderful book. Reading it pushed me from thinking in terms of what I had worked with to building systems based on what was needed. I cannot recommend it highly enough, for pretty much anyone in {frontend, backend, data science, etc}.
- pcsanwald 9y agoI third this recommendation. I've worked on a ton of data intensive applications on all kinds of stacks over the years, and this book gives you lessons learned as well as a very valuable historical perspective on relational databases that is missing from a lot of the popular literature today.
- teej 9y agoDear HN reader - if you're not quite ready to buy the book, take a listen to this episode of Software Engineering Daily (https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2017/05/02/data-intensive-applications-with-martin-kleppmann/ https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2017/05/02/data-intensi...). It will give you a sense of what Martin Kleppmann is all about and how he thinks about problems. I ordered my copy of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" after listening to this episode.

- hugofirth 9y agoAn upvote was an insufficient form of agreement. Go buy this book people!
- emmelaich 9y agoHad to reparse "throw out ..." a few times before I understood what you saying. Initially I thought you were withdrawing your former endorsement.
- amygdyl 9y agoI parsed and reparsed just like you and I stalled again, while I imagined the sentence again as "throw up", trying to make a quick fix. OP has picked a tricky one..
- jdcarter 9y agoApologies! It's an expression I use commonly, like "let me throw this idea out there..." Now that you bring my attention to it, however, it does seems backwards, and I'm sure it's baffling to non-native speakers. Thanks for the heads-up.
