A Beginners Guide to Spark Streaming Architecture with Example

ProjectPro

Discretized Streams, or DStreams, are fundamental abstractions here, as they represent streams of data divided into small chunks(referred to as batches). As a result, we can easily apply SQL queries (using the DataFrame API) or scala operations (using the DataSet API) to stream data through this library. split("W+"))).groupBy((key,

End-to-End Latency Challenges for Microservices

Zalando Engineering

We need to know network delay, round trip time, a protocol’s handshake latency, time-to-first-byte and time-to-meaningful-response. One of these metrics is time-to-first-byte. You can measure network delay, round trip time, protocol handshake times, time-to-first-byte and time-to-meaningful-response.
