Leading our day is Atlassian with their post on fighting the perfect product. I fight this battle every day and I know many other product development teams do as well. On High Scalability, we get an introduction to the architecture at Egnyte, where they have a multi-petabyte distributed system. At Java Code Geeks, we get started with some sample programs for Apache Kafka.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
