Streaming Pipelines That Survive Outages
Kafka, Flink, and the operational reality of exactly-once
4.6(89 ratings)
advanced
312 pages
Exactly-once is a marketing term. This book is what survives in its place: idempotent consumers, watermark management for late data, savepoint hygiene, schema evolution that does not corrupt downstream tables, and the unglamorous Kafka broker tuning that prevents the 4-hour rebalance. Includes failure-mode catalog with diagnostic commands.
