Data Management at Scale

All concepts well explained, makes hard concepts easy! The best book I have read on the modern data architecture approach.

I have 10+ years in IT and Data Management. This book is a must read for every data professional. Enjoyed every page.

Very disappointing book.The sentences and paragraphs don't flow together in any meaningful way – they seem disjointed and randomly assembled without care. This makes for a highly frustrating and jarring read.Aside from the content linking sentences, the content within sentences is also disappointing. Nearly all definitions provided are simply inadequate for the general-purpose audience that the book ostensibly targets. The text seems to carelessly introduce terms into an overly convoluted framework and then use these terms without any real consistency or rigor, making it a daunting task to pinpoint the basic ideas in this larger framework. The goal is overly ambitious and the implementation is deeply lacking. Rather than erecting this highly complicated, esoteric framework (which anyways is poorly described), the text would be FAR more useful if it provided practical insights into how organizations ought to manage data at scale.Most importantly, this text reflects very poorly on the O'Reilly editors who should have compressed each chapter by 40% to give their readers even a hope of taking away learnings.
