When milliseconds cost millions, industries do not rely on garbage-collected languages; they rely on bare-metal C++ execution. Stream processing technology—powered by edge-triggered networking, lock-free queues, and zero-copy serialization—allows systems to ingest, route, and calculate millions of live events per second. It is the invisible force behind high-frequency trading platforms, real-time fraud detection, and global telecommunications infrastructure.
Stream Processing Engines in C++ is a definitive, hands-on guide that takes you from a blank text file to a highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed data architecture. Instead of relying on bloated, pre-packaged frameworks, you will build a custom engine from the ground up. You will master core-pinned thread schedulers, wait-free ring buffers, epoch-based memory reclamation, and distributed checkpoints.
What's inside
- High-Performance Execution: Build custom thread pools and C++20 coroutine schedulers mapped directly to physical CPU cores.
- Zero-Copy Pipelines: Eliminate garbage collection pauses using custom slab allocators and binary schemas.
- Lock-Free Infrastructure: Replace slow mutexes with wait-free Single-Producer Single-Consumer (SPSC) and MPMC queues.
- The Network Perimeter: Bypass blocking sockets using edge-triggered epoll loops and strict flow control.
- Temporal Mathematics: Master Event Time, Tumbling Windows, and Late Triggers to calculate flawless real-time analytics.
- Distributed Fault Tolerance: Scale horizontally using Consistent Hash Rings and survive total cluster failure with Log-Based Replay.
Who it's meant for
This book is written exclusively for systems programmers, backend software engineers, and infrastructure architects who are tired of hiding behind slow abstractions. If you want to strip away the operating system interference, command the silicon directly, and learn how enterprise-scale platforms actually function under the hood, this guide is for you. A solid understanding of basic C++ and multithreading concepts is expected.
The physical limit of your hardware is much higher than you think. Stop relying on slow, black-box frameworks and start building architectures that process millions of events per second without breaking a sweat. Scroll up, grab your copy, and start building your stream processing engine today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
