The Big Data ecosystem is vast and choosing the correct technologies is critical. Many big data projects fail because of improper design.Our client followed the trend of the typical start-up by rushing their product into production, hoping to get a jump on the competition. As the company gained traction and the data grew, they realized their product, built using a standard open-source web application stack, was not scalable. It was unable to store and analyze the large amounts of data, and response times were abysmal.
