I have read the free version and it is well written. However I do think that we need another book that extensively speak about modern tech stack data modelling, something similar to Kimball but targeting modern industries such as mobile gaming, large-scale e-commerce, video streaming and etc.
From my years of exp I feel that Kimball is not exactly the best solution for those techs. They typically involve very large amount of data, fast iteration (of anything, including data warehousing), columnar database and real-time streaming requirement.
- thingsilearned 5y agoWe've definitely gone much deeper in this version with data modelling. This book though is to be clear (and that's in the first about sections) does not have much on product/event based analytics nor giant scale data as judged as 100+ TB data management.
- teej 5y agoWhat resources would you point to for those who want to learn modern product/event based analytics?
- markus_zhang 5y agoFrom my experience I think tools such as HDFS, Columnar database, Flink/Spark, Kafka etc are widely used. Some companies still use tools of the previous generation such as Mapreduce which could still be useful.
- markus_zhang 5y agoThanks. Yeah I understand it's kinda difficult to write a book about the topic I pointed out because the whole industries are kinda young.
