Sponsored Content by Instaclustr
Architects and CTOs must be especially considerate in their evaluation of how a specific technology solution delivers value, and careful of any added complexity or other drawbacks a solution may bring with it.
In this whitepaper we describe the following:
- Challenges faced while making technology choices.
- The basics of selecting the right technology for your application architecture.
- Open source technologies that reside at the data-layer—when to, and when not, to use them:
- Apache Cassandra
- Apache Kafka
- Apache Spark, and
- Elasticsearch.
- We also explore how and when these technologies can be used together.
