The Next Generation of Data Platforms Will Be Real-Time, Intelligent, and Always On

Real-time Analytics with Apache Spark is your complete, comprehensive guide to building production-grade streaming systems using Apache Spark Structured Streaming on the Databricks platform, from first principles to enterprise-scale deployment.

You begin with Spark fundamentals and streaming concepts, then progressively advance through windowed aggregations, stateful processing with transformWithState, stream-stream joins, and the new Real-time Mode for sub-second latency. Every chapter combines clear explanations with production-ready code, preparing you to handle real-world challenges including late data, state management, and performance tuning across Kafka, Kinesis, Event Hubs, and Auto Loader.

The final section teaches you to think like a production engineer by packaging pipelines with Declarative Automation Bundles, automating deployments with CI/CD, integrating ML inference into streaming workflows, and building monitoring dashboards with custom alerts. By the end of the book, you will have a proven blueprint for delivering scalable, fault-tolerant streaming solutions on Apache Spark and Databricks.
