This chapter has been a journey into the world of stream processing. We learned about the concepts and capabilities of a streaming application, and its association with the Lambda architecture. We also discussed various sub-components of a stream-based system, such as the messaging subsystem, the processing subsystem, and the scheduler/executor subsystem, and how they work together. We looked at various design considerations when designing a stream-based application and walked through an example to see the different components of a stream-based system in action. In the next chapter, we will look at various data storage systems that compliment the batch and stream layers in general. Data stores such as Hadoop and NoSQL systems will be discussed in detail. Stay tuned!

Overview of this book
<p>Are you an architect or a developer who looks at your own applications gingerly while browsing through Facebook and applauding it silently for its data-intensive, yet ?uent and efficient, behaviour? This book is your gateway to build smart data-intensive systems by incorporating the core data-intensive architectural principles, patterns, and techniques directly into your application architecture.</p>
<p>This book starts by taking you through the primary design challenges involved with architecting data-intensive applications. You will learn how to implement data curation and data dissemination, depending on the volume of your data. You will then implement your application architecture one step at a time. You will get to grips with implementing the correct message delivery protocols and creating a data layer that doesn’t fail when running high traffic. This book will show you how you can divide your application into layers, each of which adheres to the single responsibility principle. By the end of this book, you will learn to streamline your thoughts and make the right choice in terms of technologies and architectural principles based on the problem at hand.</p>
