Data Mesh For Dummies
Data Mesh is a relatively new approach to data management. It combines several important trends in data management, including domain-driven design and data as a product, to decentralize the ownership of ingestion, processing, and serving of data. Zhamak Dehghani defined the term in 2019 as "a decentralized sociotechnical approach to share, access,
An Introduction to Python Jupyter Notebooks
This book is an introduction to the use of Python Jupyter Notebooks (JNBs) for college math teachers and their students. Each chapter contains a JNB lab with solutions. Experienced teachers can modify these labs and create new labs tailored to their courses. The chapters were written by different authors/authorship teams, and as such, vary in style
Time Series Databases
Time series databases enable a fundamental step in the central storage and analysis of many types of machine data. As such, they lie at the heart of the Internet of Things (IoT). There's a revolution in sensor - to - insight data flow that is rapidly changing the way we perceive and understand the world around us. Much of the data generated by sens
The Big Data Agenda
This book highlights that the capacity for gathering, analysing, and utilising vast amounts of digital (user) data raises significant ethical issues. Annika Richterich provides a systematic contemporary overview of the field of critical data studies that reflects on practices of digital data collection and analysis. The book assesses in detail one

What Is eBPF?
In just the past few years, the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) has gone from relative obscurity to one of the hottest technology areas in modern infrastructure computing. With this report, Liz Rice dives into eBPF and explains how this framework enables networking, security, and observability tooling for modern compute environments. SREs, o
Microservices: Reference Architecture
The move to microservices is described as a seismic shift in web application development and delivery. The authors at NGINX explain that, because they believe this shift is crucial to their customers' success, they have launched a dedicated program to develop NGINX software features and development practices in support of microservices. They also r
Mercurial: The Definitive Guide
This instructive book takes you step by step through ways to track, merge, and manage both open source and commercial software projects with Mercurial, using Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and other systems. Mercurial is the easiest system to learn when it comes to distributed revision control. And it's a very flexible tool that's ideal whether
Python Data Science Handbook
For many researchers, Python is a first-class tool mainly because of its libraries for storing, manipulating, and gaining insight from data. Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other relate
