From the brand


From the Publisher

If any of the following are true for you, you’ll find this book valuable:

  • You want to learn how to make data systems scalable, for example, to support web or mobile apps with millions of users.
  • You need to make applications highly available (minimizing downtime) and operationally robust.
  • You are looking for ways of making systems easier to maintain in the long run, even as they grow and as requirements and technologies change.
  • You have a natural curiosity for the way things work and want to know what goes on inside major websites and online services. This book breaks down the internals of various databases and data processing systems, and it’s great fun to explore the bright thinking that went into their design.

Many of the technologies described in this book fall within the realm of the Big Data buzzword. However, the term 'Big Data' is so overused and underdefined that it is not useful in a serious engineering discussion. This book uses less ambiguous terms, such as single-node versus distributed systems, or online/interactive versus offline/batch processing systems.

This book has a bias toward free and open source software (FOSS), because reading, modifying, and executing source code is a great way to understand how something works in detail. Open platforms also reduce the risk of vendor lock-in. However, where appropriate, we also discuss proprietary software (closed-source software, software as a service, or companies’ in-house software that is only described in literature but not released publicly).

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Martin is a researcher in distributed systems at the University of Cambridge. Previously he was a software engineer and entrepreneur at Internet companies including LinkedIn and Rapportive, where he worked on large-scale data infrastructure. In the process he learned a few things the hard way, and he hopes this book will save you from repeating the same mistakes.



Martin is a regular conference speaker, blogger, and open source contributor. He believes that profound technical ideas should be accessible to everyone, and that deeper understanding will help us develop better software.
