A Definitive Guide to Apache ShardingSphere - Transform any DBMS into a distributed database with sharding scaling encryption features and more

Zhang Liang, Trista Pan, Yacine Si Tayeb

Summary

Apache ShardingSphere is a new open source ecosystem for distributed data infrastructures based on pluggability and cloud-native principles that helps enhance your database.
This book begins with a quick overview of the main challenges faced by database management systems (DBMSs) in production environments, followed by a brief introduction to the software's kernel concept. After that, using real-world examples of distributed database solutions, elastic scaling, DistSQL, synthetic monitoring, database gateways, and SQL authority and user authentication, you’ll fully understand ShardingSphere's architectural components, how they’re configured and can be plugged into your existing infrastructure, and how to manage your data and applications. You’ll also explore ShardingSphere-JDBC and ShardingSphere-Proxy, the ecosystem’s clients, and how they can work either concurrently or independently to address your needs. You’ll then learn how to customize the plugin platform to define personalized user strategies and manage multiple configurations seamlessly. Finally, the book enables you to get up and running with functional and performance tests for all scenarios.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy a customized version of ShardingSphere, addressing the key pain points encountered in your data management infrastructure.

Blockchain Basics - A Beginner's...

Craig Dames

Blockchain technology has become one of the most revolutionary innovations of the 21st century, offering a new way to securely store and share data. At its core, a blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions across multiple computers in such a way that the registered transactions cannot be altered retroactively. This provides a level of security and transparency that is not possible with traditional, centralized databases. 
The concept of blockchain was first introduced in 2008 by an individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It was initially designed as the underlying technology behind Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency. However, its potential goes far beyond just digital currencies. Blockchain can be applied to a wide range of industries, including healthcare, finance, supply chain management, and more, providing a secure, transparent, and efficient way to handle data. 
A blockchain consists of a series of "blocks," which contain records of transactions. Each block is linked to the previous one, forming a chain. This chain of blocks is distributed across a network of computers, known as nodes, ensuring that all copies of the ledger are synchronized and identical. When a new transaction occurs, it is verified and added to the blockchain by the network participants. This decentralized nature eliminates the need for a central authority, making blockchain a powerful tool for fostering trust in a wide range of applications.

Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

Martin K. Ettington

Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
