Modern Data Engineering with Apache Spark

Apache Spark applications solve a wide range of data problems from traditional data loading and processing to rich SQL-based analysis as well as complex machine learning workloads and even near real-time processing of streaming data. Spark fits well as a central foundation for any data engineering workload. This book will teach you to write interactive Spark applications using Apache Zeppelin notebooks, write and compilereusable applications and modules, and fully test both batch and streaming. You will also learn to containerize your applications using Docker and run and deploy your Spark applications using a variety of tools such as Apache Airflow, Docker and Kubernetes.

Professional software engineers who want to take their current skills and apply them to new and exciting opportunities within the data ecosystem, practicing data engineers who are looking for a guiding light while traversing the many challenges of moving from batch to streaming modes, data architects who wish to provide clear and concise direction for how best to harness anduse Apache Spark within their organization, and those interested in the ins and outs of becoming a modern data engineer in today's fast-paced and data-hungry world
