DESCRIPTION The idea behind Docker, a free an open source program, is simple. Create a tiny virtual environment, called a container, for an application that includes only its particular set of dependencies. The Docker engine accounts for, manages, and builds these containers through functionality provided by the host operating system. Software running inside containers share the Linux OS and other resources, making their footprints radically smaller, and the containerized applications easy to install, manage, and remove. Applications can be packaged without worrying about environment-specific deployment concerns, and the operations team gets cleaner, more efficient systems across the board. Docker in Action starts with a clear explanation of the Docker model of virtualization and shows how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers. It offers specific techniques for testing and distributing applications via Docker Hub and other registries. It shows how to take advantage of the Linux OS features that Docker uses to run programs securely, and how to manage shared resources. Using carefully-designed examples, the book guides readers on orchestrating containers and applications from installation to removal. Along the way, it teaches techniques for using Docker on systems ranging from personal dev-and-test machine to full-scale cloud deployments. KEY SELLING POINTS Explains the "why" and "how" of Docker Simplify software installation Addresses many of the everyday software problems faced by developers AUDIENCE Readers need a working knowledge of installing and running software on the Linux OS. No prior experience with Docker or other virtualization technologies is required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Docker provides software logistics.

DESCRIPTION Types are often seen as a tool for checking errors, with the programmer writing a complete program first and using the type checker to detect errors. And while tests are used to show presence of errors, they can only find errors that you explicitly test for. In typedriven development, types become your tools for constructing programs and, used appropriately, can show the absence of errors. And you can express precise relationships between data, your assumptions are explicit and checkable, and you can precisely state and verify properties. Type-driven development lets users write extensible code, create simple specifications very early in development, and easily create mock implementation for testing. Type-Driven Development with Idris, written by the creator of Idris, teaches programmers how to improve the performance and accuracy of programs by taking advantage of a state-of-the-art type system. This book teaches readers using Idris, a language designed from the very beginning to support type-driven development.

Kafka in Action is a practical, hands-on guide to building Kafka-based data pipelines. Filled with real-world use cases and scenarios, this book probes Kafka's most common use cases, ranging from simple logging through managing streaming data systems for message routing, analytics, and more. In systems that handle big data, streaming data, or fast data, it's important to get your data pipelines right. Apache Kafka is a wicked-fast distributed streaming platform that operates as more than just a persistent log or a flexible message queue. Key Features · Understanding Kafka's concepts · Implementing Kafka as a message queue · Setting up and executing basic ETL tasks · Recording and consuming streaming data · Working with Kafka producers and consumers from Java applications · Using Kafka as part of a large data project team · Performing Kafka developer and admin tasks Written for intermediate Java developers or data engineers. No prior knowledge of Kafka is required. About the technology Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform for logging and streaming data between services or applications. With Kafka, it's easy to build applications that can act on or react to data streams as they flow through your system. Operational data monitoring, large scale message processing, website activity tracking, log aggregation, and more are all possible with Kafka. Dylan Scott is a software developer with over ten years of experience in Java and Perl. His experience includes implementing Kafka as a messaging system for a large data migration, and he uses Kafka in his work in the insurance industry.

DESCRIPTION JavaScript on the server? You bet! Node.js is a JavaScript framework that can be used to create scalable, high-performance web applications. Using asynchronous I/O, the server can do more than one thing at a time, a key requirement for real-time apps like chat, games, and live statistics. Node.js in Action, Second Edition is a thoroughly-revised new edition that starts at square one and guides readers through all the features, techniques, and concepts needed to build production-quality Node applications. The book dives into the many different uses of Node: traditional web applications, real-time web applications, non-web network applications, and even desktop applications. It also covers the ongoing development of Node via io.js and the emerging ECMAScript 6 features. KEY FEATURES • Simplifies web application development • Teaches Node.js from the ground up • Outlines valuable online resources • Application examples including chat, microblogging, and more AUDIENCE Perfect for a web developer transitioning from Rails, Django, or PHP. Requires basic knowledge of JavaScript. No prior experience with Node.js needed. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Node.js is a JavaScript framework that can be used to create scalable, highperformance web applications.

GitOps and Kubernetes introduces a radical idea—managing your infrastructure with the same Git pull requests you use to manage your codebase. In this in-depth tutorial, you’ll learn to operate infrastructures based on powerful-but-complex technologies with the same Git version control tools most developers use daily. GitOps and Kubernetes is half reference, half practical tutorial for operating Kubernetes the GitOps way. Through fast-paced chapters, you’ll unlock the benefits of GitOps for flexible configuration management, monitoring, robustness, multi-environment support, and discover tricks and tips for managing secrets in the unique GitOps fashion. Key Features · Multiple-environments management with branching, namespace, and configuration · Access Control with Git, Kubernetes, and Pipeline · Using Kubernetes with Argo CD, JenkinsX, and Flux · Multi-step deployment strategies like Blue-Green, Canary in a declarative GitOps model For developers familiar with Continuous Delivery principles and the basics of Git and Kubernetes. About the technology The tools to monitor and manage software delivery and deployment can be complex to set up and intimidating to learn. But with the “GitOps“ method, you can manage your entire Kubernetes infrastructure with Git pull requests, giving you a single control interface and making it easy to assess and roll back changes! Billy Yuen, Alexander Matyushentsev, Todd Ekenstam, and Jesse Suen are principal engineers for the Intuit platform. They are widely recognized as industry leads in GitOps for Kubernetes, having presented numerous related talks at industry conferences.

Description Modern NLP techniques based on machine learning radically improve the ability of software to recognize patterns, use context to infer meaning, and accurately discern intent from poorly-structured text. In Natural Language Processing in Action, readers explore carefully chosen examples and expand their machine's knowledge which they can then apply to a range of challenges. Key Features • Easy-to-follow • Clear examples • Hands-on-guide Audience A basic understanding of machine learning and some experience with a modern programming language such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript will be helpful. About the technology Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the discipline of teaching computers to read more like people, and readers can see examples of it in everything from chatbots to the speech-recognition software on their phone. Hobson Lane has more than 15 years of experience building autonomous systems that make important decisions on behalf of humans. Hannes Hapke is an Electrical Engineer turned Data Scientist with experience in deep learning. Cole Howard is a carpenter and writer turned Deep Learning expert.
