The fourth book in the Architect series follows Klaus, the now retired Architect of Vevay, upon his return to Santa Claus. Filled with the existential wonder of southern Indiana, Alexander Dean's novel elicits the equivocal nature of life and the discernment of one's place within space and time. Through friends and lovers, sunrises and sunsets, and everything in between, Klaus comes to realize his place in modern society as an expatriate beside the tranquil waters of Christmas Lake.

Twenty-four years old and bored, Klaus, an architect and retreatist, finds himself living alongside Christmas Lake, a southern Indiana paradise where the sun always seems to shine. After escaping his hometown and college, Klaus decides to design homes in the peace and isolation of Santa Claus, Indiana. However, unbeknownst to the fledgling architect, a college student visiting her grandfather will soon become the most influential person he has ever met."Indiana" tells the story of love and love lost, the existential trials of young adulthood, and how one person can change another's world. Author Alexander Dean invites you to take a journey through the first book in the Architect series.

Brilliant, talented, and lost in the world, Dean Montgomery, an author and closeted neurotic, finds himself in the throes of literary success. As his book sales increase, so does the weight of his social status brought on by his retreat to Christmas Lake. A lakeside community, Dean attempts to find himself between towering trees and charming bungalows. But as his friendships break down and relationships crumble, the Writer soon learns that sometimes, we must be our own hero. The Writer of Christmas Lake's story is now yours to own.

A journey is often defined by a beginning and an end, but for Logan Harrison, a journey is defined by what happens in between. A counselor by degree and hopeless neurotic, Logan lives a feckless lifestyle of upper-class parties, people collecting, and name dropping. But when Logan meets Cailin Stiegfeld, everything changes. From the author of the Architect series and "Armistice," the story of the Writer, comes Alexander Dean's epic novel of a man wandering in search of himself, from the woods of southern Indiana to the hills of West Virginia.

Though he calls Vevay home, a grocery-diner just north of his homestead beckons him forth from the bricked walls of the riverside mansion. Stark against the cornfields of southern Indiana, a small town of a few dozen loyal inhabitants draws the attention of Klaus the Architect. Forty-five years old, isolated, and at a crossroads in his life, the Architect stands poised to discover his purpose through the intervention of Emma, Dodd, and a mysterious restaurant owner named Gretch. The mystique of southern Indiana continues in Alexander Dean's third installment of the Architect series.

SummaryEvent Streams in Action is a foundational book introducing the ULP paradigm and presenting techniques to use it effectively in data-rich environments.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyMany high-profile applications, like LinkedIn and Netflix, deliver nimble, responsive performance by reacting to user and system events as they occur. In large-scale systems, this requires efficiently monitoring, managing, and reacting to multiple event streams. Tools like Kafka, along with innovative patterns like unified log processing, help create a coherent data processing architecture for event-based applications.About the BookEvent Streams in Action teaches you techniques for aggregating, storing, and processing event streams using the unified log processing pattern. In this hands-on guide, you''ll discover important application designs like the lambda architecture, stream aggregation, and event reprocessing. You''ll also explore scaling, resiliency, advanced stream patterns, and much more! By the time you''re finished, you''ll be designing large-scale data-driven applications that are easier to build, deploy, and maintain.What''s insideValidating and monitoring event streamsEvent analyticsMethods for event modelingExamples using Apache Kafka and Amazon KinesisAbout the ReaderFor readers with experience coding in Java, Scala, or Python.About the AuthorAlexander Dean developed Snowplow, an open source event processing and analytics platform.
