DevOps and big data are most sought-after technology trends bringing multifold benefits to business, industries, and R and D centers. Their widespread adoption is associated with the popularity and acceptance of Open source tools along with other technology advancements, such as cloud computing, containers, and the Internet of Things.

In this book, we will discuss the business drivers and market trends contributing to the evolution of technology. We will explore the key technological concepts, such as NoSQL databases, microservices, data science, and data visualization. We will build big data enterprise applications, using core architectural principles, based on the Spark in-memory engine. We will discuss DevOps practices and frameworks, and their application with popular tools, to prepare for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. We will dive deeper into the popular open source tools, such as Chef, Ansible, Jenkins, Git, and Stack, which assist in the automation of the development to deployment cycle.
