Streaming Databases

Real-time applications are becoming the norm. However, for the model to function properly, it is necessary to obtain data in real-time, process it on the fly, and ensure low-latency analytics. In this practical book, data engineers, data architects, and analysts will learn how to use streaming databases to create real-time solutions. Authors Hubert Dulay and Ralph M. Debusmann explain the basics of streaming databases, including their role in simplifying the infrastructure for such solutions. You will learn the differences between streaming databases, stream processing, and real-time OLAP (online analytical processing). Additionally, you will discover when to use push and pull queries, as well as how to handle synchronous and asynchronous data coming from streaming databases. This guide will help you: - Explore stream processing and streaming databases - Learn to create real-time solutions using streaming databases - Understand how to build materialized views from multiple streams - Learn how to handle synchronous and asynchronous data - Start creating solutions with minimal complexity and configuration.
