Data is at the center of many challenges in system design today. Difficult issues need to be figured out, such as scalability, consistency, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability. In addition, we have an overwhelming variety of tools, including relational databases, NoSQL datastores, stream or batch processors, and message brokers. What are the right choices for your application? How do you make sense of all these buzzwords?In this practical and comprehensive guide, author Martin Kleppmann helps you navigate this diverse landscape by examining the pros and cons of various technologies for processing and storing data. Software keeps changing, but the fundamental principles remain the same. With this book, software engineers and architects will learn how to apply those ideas in practice, and how to make full use of data in modern applications.Peer under the hood of the systems you already use, and learn how to use and operate them more effectivelyMake informed decisions by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different toolsNavigate the trade-offs around consistency, scalability, fault tolerance, and complexityUnderstand the distributed systems research upon which modern databases are builtPeek behind the scenes of major online services, and learn from their architectures

Secret Colors is a gentle introduction to cryptography. With hand-drawn imagery and gentle explanations of cryptography concepts, this book will captivate beginners of all ages and backgrounds. The annual autumn dance is being held in the forest, and two bunnies are deciding who they will ask to the dance. As they pass notes between each other in class, they realize they need a way of keeping their messages secret. They develop a technique that allows them to securely talk to each other without any chance of other bunnies listening in on their conversation. In doing so, the bunnies give us a memorable example of symmetric-key encryption and key exchange protocols that readers will find fascinating and useful.
