This document discusses four streaming data architectures used by companies like Yelp, LINE, and Altspace VR. It begins by providing context on streaming data and the evolution from batch processing with Hadoop/MapReduce to stream processing with Apache Kafka and frameworks like Storm. The main case studies then describe how each company uses streaming to build real-time data pipelines and services. Key aspects discussed include using Kafka for messaging between services, Kafka Streams for stream processing, and storing streaming data in databases. The document concludes by promoting Apache Kafka as a platform for building scalable streaming applications.
