We start our week with a post from All Things Distributed about 10 lessons from 10 years of Amazon web services. It is an interesting look at AWS from someone who has been there from the beginning. On Java Code Geeks, they give us an introduction to use Apache Spark Streaming with Scala. Another good post on Java Code Geeks is an introduction to using MapR Streams.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
