Big Data Architecture(s)
This is the digital age, and we are using technology everyday - rather, every second of the day - to connect, collaborate, share, with the people who belong in our social sphere, be it for work or fun. And, with the rise and affordability of means of capturing and sharing digital information at the click of a button, there is just an extreme burst of data that flows through the guts of the Internet (and systems) today.
A new age is beginning to dawn where the ability to process, analyze and visualize these vast bits of data will lead to newer insights into the way people are leveraging the technological innovations to improve their personal as well as business relationships. It is this new paradigm that is aptly called BigData, and is here to stay.
The great presentation below walks us through the internals of what make up such Big Data Architectures, and also provides a peek into the (earlier) architectures of Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks to Philippe Julio for sharing this presentation.
