Review: Big Data Book by Nathan Marz

Recently, I finished reading the latest "early access" version of the Big Data Book by Nathan Marz. This book has been fascinating because of a strong and simple "first principles" approach and because this general approach allowed just 3 engineers to manage the huge BackType system.

About

My name is Swaroop. I currently work as a Staff Engineer in the Machine Learning Platform team at DoorDash in San Francisco.

I write mostly about what I have learned in pursuit of my curiosity, mostly around software engineering, books and ideas.

I have previously worked at big companies, did freelancing, tried building a startup, and was at startups of all sizes (from 6-person company to Series B+ to acquisition).

Long ago, I wrote A Byte of Python beginners book and A Byte of Vim book.
