The book covers a wide arc from foundational structures like priority queues, treaps, and bloom filters to more advanced territory including k-d trees, clustering algorithms, and graph planarity detection.</p>https://ryanorban.com/notes/designing-cloud-data-platforms/Mon, 04 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000me@ryanorban.com (Ryan Orban)https://ryanorban.com/notes/designing-cloud-data-platforms/<h3 id="summary" class="scroll-mt-8 group"> Summary <a href="#summary" class="no-underline hidden opacity-50 hover:opacity-100 !text-inherit group-hover:inline-block" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to this heading" tabindex="-1"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" class="lucide lucide-link w-4 h-4 block" viewBox="0 0 24 24" > <path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71" /> <path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71" /> </svg> </a> </h3> <p><em><a href="https://ryanorban.com/notes/designing-cloud-data-platforms/">Designing Cloud Data Platforms</a></em> by Danil Zburivsky and Lynda Partner (Manning, 2021) provides a comprehensive architecture guide for building data platforms on cloud infrastructure. The book takes a layered approach: data ingestion → storage → processing → serving, with each layer examined through the lens of the major providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).</p>
