Real-Time Data Processing: Understanding the What, Why, Where, Who, and HowData ScienceTech by Sunny Srinidhi - October 22, 20240 In today’s data-driven world, businesses and organizations are continuously generating massive amounts of data. While processing data in batch mode remains useful, the need for instant decision-making has led to an increasing focus on real-time data processing. This article delves into what real-time data processing is, why it's essential, its various applications, the tools used to achieve it, trends shaping its evolution, and real-world use cases. What is Real-Time Data Processing? Real-time data processing refers to the capability to continuously ingest, process, and output data as soon as it is generated, with minimal latency. Unlike batch processing, which collects and processes data in large groups at set intervals (e.g., daily or hourly), real-time processing works with data immediately as it becomes available,
The Trend of Cloud Repatriation: Moving Back to On-Premises InfrastructureData ScienceTech by Sunny Srinidhi - October 16, 2024October 16, 20240 In recent years, a shift in IT infrastructure strategies has seen many companies moving workloads away from public cloud services and back to on-premises setups or private cloud environments. This movement, known as "cloud repatriation," is driven by various factors that range from cost management to performance, security, and compliance concerns. While public cloud adoption surged over the past decade, the limitations of this model have led organizations to reconsider their approach, resulting in a hybrid IT strategy combining both on-premises and cloud resources. Why Companies Are Moving Back to On-Premises 1. Cost Considerations One of the most prominent factors driving cloud repatriation is the realization of the high costs associated with public cloud services. While the cloud offers scalability and flexibility, many companies
