This book gives you a great overview (overview being the keyword here) of what could be possible, how to implement different use-cases and how to handle different edge cases in an event-driven system using Apache Kafka.

I stopped reading it after making 50% progress of the book.

You should read this book only if you are a big fan of the author's previous books and don't mind life advices given to you with nothing but anecdotal evidences in the frame of the theories from his previous books.

About 60% of the book in I have already figured out how it would inevitably end so that it feels unnecessarily long and drawn out to reach the conclusion.

A great introductory book giving you the basic architecture and knowledge required for what the buzz surrounding Serverless architecture is all about. Comes with in-depth tutorials and code samples.

Short and right on point delivery of essential lessons and TODOs by the former COO of Google Europe. Must read for all modern CXO.

Awesome story telling, witty jokes and a great personality delivering lessons of twitter.

This title Includes very good examples and easy-to-understand explanation about many concepts within AngularJS.

While the facts and the life story are pretty incredible, I could not help but get bored out of my mind by the simplistic story telling. The sunk cost fallacy is the only reason why I finished reading it.

I find that the book's lengthy theories uncoupled with little or no hands-on experience involved makes it irritatingly hard to consume. Although I might keep this book in my library merely for reference purposes, I hardly think it's worth the price tag.

Awesome long read! A compilation of numerous masters' biography and detailed analysis of how they climbed those heights acts a guide for anyone who's intrigued about achieving mastery themselves.

A collection of disorganized articles about critical thinking. The author, with the help of many anecdotes, depicted the various topics that he wanted to cover. While a great introductory reading about critical thinking, each topic is worthy of its own book/or books.

Full of the right vision and the right tone to reach the right audience. It gets a bit repetitive after a few chapters into the book.
