Building Python Real-Time Applications with Storm

Summary

In this chapter, you learned some skills that will help make you more productive building your own topologies. As you develop spouts or bolts, you can test them individually before assembling them into a complete topology and deploying on Storm. If you encounter a tricky problem that occurs only while running in Storm, you can use Winpdb in addition to (or instead of) log messages. When your code is working, you can get insights into which components take most of the time, so you can focus on improving performance in those areas. With these skills, you are now ready to go out and build your own topologies. Good luck!
