It was a slow news weekend, but there are plenty of good development posts. First, On DZone we get the logic behind various types of transactions. Unless you are building a very simple administrative application, like a CRUD app, then you are probably dealing with difference types of transactions. Confluent announced the availability of Kafka Connect, enabling you to build large-scale, low-latency data pipelines. Google’s Big Data blog gives us an interesting look at the history of massive-scale sorting experiments. This is a peek into the types of scale problems and solutions that Google tends to deal with.
