The combination of a data-driven culture, customer expectations and digital disruptors is forcing businesses to move fast and be more agile or risk losing customers.

At the same time, digitization, the Internet of Things, social media and mobile devices are creating a flood of data in real time.

IDC estimates that there will be 175 zettabytes of data by 2025, and that nearly 30% of all data created will be real-time (compared to 15% in 2017). Unfortunately, much of this data is locked in slow, disk-based databases that don’t support real-time, consumer-grade experiences.

To take advantage of this architecture, developers can start with a small set of transactional data sources that can be used for key business insights.
