The author provides evidence by examining the pros and cons of various technologies for processing and storing data [Passage 2]. This involves identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different tools [Passage 1]. The book also aims to help readers understand the distributed systems research upon which modern databases are built [Passage 1].
Furthermore, the author offers evidence by allowing readers to peek behind the scenes of major online services and learn from their architectures [Passage 1]. Readers will learn how to make full use of data in modern applications and how to use and operate systems more effectively by peering under their hoods [Passage 2].
