Hybrid cloud architecture for data lake applications
Big data technologies nowadays are very mature. Typically you use HDFS, or another distributed file systems, like S3, for storing data, Spark as a processor engine, and YARN as a resource manager. Next steps, wich you probably would like to achieve, are implement CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery) and move workload on demand in cloud.

Why it is a bad idea to stream data back from HDFS into Kafka
Microservices vs service oriented architecture (SOA) and how containers change the rules of the game
Microservices approach gains recently popularity. Some time ago service oriented architecture (SOA) approach was very popular. But what is the difference?
Schema evolution and backward and forward compatibility for data in data lakes
We have discussed before the format for clean and derived data in data lakes. One of the popular formats for this goal is an avro format. We will talk here why it is needed and how to achieve backward and forward compatibility by designing avro schemas.
