Postgres Handles More Than You Think
Thinking about scaling beyond Postgres with a data store like Redis or Elasticsearch? Think again before adopting a complex infrastructure. Postgres can scale for heavy loads and offers powerful features which are not obvious at first sight. For example, it's possible to enable in-memory caching, text search, specialized indexing, and key-value storage. Article

Real-Time Data Processing Using Redis Streams and Apache Spark Structured Streaming
Structured Streaming, introduced with Apache Spark 2.0, delivers a SQL-like interface for streaming data. Redis Streams enables Redis to consume, hold and distribute streaming data between multiple producers and consumers. In this article, author Roshan Kumar walks us through how to process streaming data in real time using Redis and Apache Spark Streaming technologies.

Picking an Active-Active Geo Distribution Strategy: Comparing Merge Replication and CRDT
Modern distributed applications are fuelling the growing demand for distributed active-active, multi-master databases. While most popular databases support multi-master deployment, different databases employ different techniques. LWW, MVCC, merge replication and CRDTs deliver eventual consistency, offering read and write access with local latency and remaining available during network partitions.

Jepsen: Testing the Partition Tolerance of PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB and Riak
Distributed systems are characterized by exchanging state over high-latency or unreliable links. The system must be robust to both node and network failure if it is to operate reliably--however, not all systems satisfy the safety invariants we'd like. In this article, we'll explore some of the design considerations of distributed databases, and how they respond to network partitions.

Interview and Book Review: The LogStash Book, Log Management Made Easy
James Turnbull makes a compelling case for using Logstash for centralizing logging by explaining the implementation details of Logstash within the context of a logging project. The book targets both small companies and large enterprises through a two sided case; both for the low barrier to entry and the scaling capabilities.
