Real Time Spark Project for Beginners: Hadoop, Spark, Docker

 🚀 Building a Real-Time Data Pipeline for Server Monitoring Using Kafka, Spark, Hadoop, PostgreSQL & Django



In today’s data centers, various types of servers constantly generate vast volumes of real-time event data—each event representing the server’s status. To ensure stability and minimize downtime, monitoring teams need instant insights into this data to detect and resolve issues swiftly.


To meet this demand, a scalable and efficient real-time data pipeline architecture is essential. Here’s how we’re building it:


🧩 Tech Stack Overview:

Apache Kafka acts as the real-time data ingestion layer, handling high-throughput event streams with minimal latency.


Apache Spark (Scala + PySpark), running on a Hadoop cluster (via Docker), performs large-scale, fault-tolerant data processing and analytics.


Hadoop enables distributed storage and computation, forming the backbone of our big data processing layer.


PostgreSQL stores the processed insights for long-term use and querying.


Django serves as the web framework, enabling dynamic dashboards and APIs.


Flexmonster powers data visualization, delivering real-time, interactive insights to monitoring teams.


🔍 Why This Stack?

Scalability: Each tool is designed to handle massive data volumes.


Real-time processing: Kafka + Spark combo ensures minimal lag in generating insights.


Interactivity: Flexmonster with Django provides a user-friendly, interactive frontend.


Containerized: Docker simplifies deployment and management.


This architecture empowers data center teams to monitor server statuses live, quickly detect anomalies, and improve infrastructure reliability.


Stay tuned for detailed implementation guides and performance benchmarks!

IISc to Empower Tribal Students as Future Semiconductor Leaders

Image
 Bridging the Gap: Empowering Tribal Students in Semiconductor Technology The semiconductor industry, essential for powering modern technologies like smartphones and satellites, remains largely inaccessible to marginalized communities in India. Despite a strong engineering talent pool, representation from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in semiconductor fields is minimal, with reserved seats often going unfilled. To address this gap, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have launched a fully sponsored semiconductor training programme for tribal students from rural areas. Hosted at IISc’s Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), the initiative aims to equip students with industry-relevant skills and open doors to high-tech careers. A Tiered Learning Approach The programme is divided into three modules: Exposure Module (2–3 weeks): Introductory overview of semiconductor tech. Foundation Module (60 days): ...
