Description

Delta helps you generate reliable insights at scale and simplifies architecture around data pipelines, allowing you to focus primarily on refining the use cases being worked on. This is especially important when you consider that existing architecture is frequently reused for new use cases. In this book, you’ll learn about the principles of distributed computing, data modeling techniques, and big data design patterns and templates that help solve end-to-end data flow problems for common scenarios and are reusable across use cases and industry verticals. You’ll also learn how to recover from errors and the best practices around handling structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data using Delta. After that, you’ll get to grips with features such as ACID transactions on big data, disciplined schema evolution, time travel to help rewind a dataset to a different time or version, and unified batch and streaming capabilities that will help you build agile and robust data products. By the end of this Delta book, you’ll be able to use Delta as the foundational block for creating analytics-ready data that fuels all AI/BI use cases.

Who is this book for?

This book is very well written for technical as well as non technical people interested in the world of data. I highly recommend everyone with a passion for data and digital transformation to read this book to educate and upskill themselves with up and coming trends in the data ecosystem.

Simplifying Data Engineering and Analytics with Delta not only covers why Delta helps in Data Engineering workloads but explain in details why and all the steps that are required to do proper data engineering no matter what tool you use. The first few chapters are great at explaining why Data Engineering is important to all data aspects (hint, it's to have data in the proper format at the proper time and in a cost effective manner).Starting with chapter 3 we dig into why Delta was required and the main features of delta and how it can be used to produce batch and streaming pipelines.I liked also the fact that this book included concise examples and full code to run all this.Section 12 will also be of interest to anyone that already has Delta in their data lake and want to optimize tables with all the tools available to do so in Delta.All in all great reference book to better learn data engineering in general and delta in specific.

Given that the author is a veteran data practitioner, the value of their hands-on experience has rapidly accelerated my journey in learning and implementing the best open-source storage framework on the market. Whether you're a data practitioner with 2 years or 20 years of professional experience, this book is an essential addition to your collection.

The tech world thrives on change. Sorting out the hype from the value is the key to survival for businesses as societal change continues to accelerate.This particular book is a lucid and concise guide to understanding what "next" in the world of data storage and analysis at scale looks like - how to get business value out of all of your data whether structured or unstructured or both in combination.While not an in-depth treatise for training your data architects, it should appeal to all users looking to understand what a digital-first business should look like, today.
