Scalable Data Architecture with Java

By: Sinchan Banerjee

Overview of this book

Java architectural patterns and tools help architects to build reliable, scalable, and secure data engineering solutions that collect, manipulate, and publish data. This book will help you make the most of the architecting data solutions available with clear and actionable advice from an expert. You’ll start with an overview of data architecture, exploring responsibilities of a Java data architect, and learning about various data formats, data storage, databases, and data application platforms as well as how to choose them. Next, you’ll understand how to architect a batch and real-time data processing pipeline. You’ll also get to grips with the various Java data processing patterns, before progressing to data security and governance. The later chapters will show you how to publish Data as a Service and how you can architect it. Finally, you’ll focus on how to evaluate and recommend an architecture by developing performance benchmarks, estimations, and various decision metrics. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to successfully orchestrate data architecture solutions using Java and related technologies as well as to evaluate and present the most suitable solution to your clients.

Summary

In this chapter, we started by discussing various popular batch processing patterns. We covered five commonly used patterns to solve batch processing problems. We also looked at examples of those patterns and real-world scenarios where such patterns are used. Then, we looked at five popular patterns available to architect stream processing pipelines and how they are used to solve real-world problems in data engineering. Next, we learned about the Lambda and Kappa architectures and how they are useful for both batch and stream processing. Finally, we learned what serverless architecture is and looked at two popular serverless architectures that are used to solve many data engineering problems in the cloud.

At this point, we know how to implement batch and streaming solutions, as well as have a fair idea of different data engineering patterns that are commonly used across the industry. Now, it is time to put some amount of security and data governance into our solutions. In...
