Here is the list of papers that we will read:

1. Kafka: a Distributed Messaging System for Log Processing
2. Apache Spark: A Big Data Processing Engine
3. Structured Streaming: A Declarative API for Real-Time Applications in Apache Spark

Join our exclusive White Paper Reading Group designed to elevate your understanding of modern data engineering and architecture. In this series, we will explore three foundational white papers that are pivotal to mastering distributed systems, real-time data processing, and scalable big data solutions.

Session Structure

Each session consists of 40 minutes of guided paper reading, followed by at least 20 minutes of interactive Q&A. This format ensures a thorough understanding of the material, while the Q&A allows for in-depth discussions and clarifications.

Preparation

To make the most of each session, participants are encouraged to read the papers beforehand. This will help you engage more effectively during the discussions and maximize your learning experience.
