Published by in Interesting Links at https://preview.rmoff.net/2025/03/24/interesting-links-march-2025/

The problem with publishing February’s interesting links at the beginning of the month and now getting around to publishing March’s at the end is that I have nearly two months' worth of links to share 😅 So with no further ado, let’s crack on.

DuckDB 🔗

Kafka (and other Event Streaming technologies) 🔗

Data Viz 🔗

Stream Processing 🔗

General Data Stuff 🔗

Data Architectures 🔗

Other stuff 🔗

  • The trend for "landscape" posts/infographics in recent years can sometimes seem like an exercise in trying to shape reality to suit the world-view of a vendor—not to mention overwhelming the reader with the number of projects and technologies to try and comprehend. However, the Open Source Data Engineering Landscape that Alireza Sadeghi has put together is pretty decent and comprehensive list, with a solid set of analysis of each category.

  • Gunnar Morling is a good friend of mine—and an excellent blogger. He was recently interviewed about technical blogging and shares some useful tips.

  • Troubleshooting is a core skill. Learning how to do it properly, in a considered and logical manner, will benefit you.

  • Joe Reis recently opened a Discord server Practical Data that’s a friendly and lively place to chat about data stuff. Join here.

  • If you have a Garmin device you’ll find this fun. It lets you download all your data and analyse it yourself. It’s based on Sqlite—I’m keen to see if I can use it with DuckDB :)

And finally… 🔗

  • If you’ve never seen the Floppotron, it’s a thing of wonder.
