Resources for Learning Stream Data Processing

The Monograph

Kreps expanded his monograph into I ❤️ Logs: Event Data, Stream Processing, and Data Integration which was published by O’Reilly in September 2014

Great reads of 2013: Jay Kreps on logs by Rafe Colburn (December 2013) is a quick reaction, very-high-level summary, and third-party validation to/of Krep’s ideas
The Log: an epic software engineering article by Bryan Pendleton (January 2014) is a summary and analysis of Krep’s monograph
The three eras of business data processing by Alex Dean (January 2014) builds on Kreps’ ideas to extrapolate the future of business data processing architecture, as compared to common architectures in the present and the past
Loving a Log-Oriented Architecture by Andrew Montalenti (December 2014) is a good summary/overview of this developing architectural style by a member of a team that has adopted it in earnest.
