Building Real-Time Data Pipelines

Traditional data processing infrastructures—especially those that support applications—weren’t designed for our mobile, streaming, and online world. This O’Reilly report examines how today’s distributed, in-memory database management systems (IMDBMS) enable you to make quick decisions based on real-time data.

In this report, executives from MemSQL Inc. provide options for using in-memory architectures to build real-time data pipelines. If you want to instantly track user behavior on websites or mobile apps, generate reports on a changing dataset, or detect anomalous activity in your system as it occurs, you’ll learn valuable lessons from some of the largest and most successful tech companies focused on in-memory databases.

• Explore the architectural principles of modern in-memory databases
• Understand what’s involved in moving from data silos to real-time data pipelines
