Data Warehousing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Chapter 10. Real-Time Machine Learning Use Cases

Overview of Use Cases

Real-time data warehouses help companies take advantage of modern technology and are critical to the growth of machine learning (ML), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI). Companies looking to stay current need a data warehouse to support them.

Choosing the Correct Data Warehouse

If your company is looking to benefit from ML and needs data analytics in real time, choosing the correct data warehouse is critical to success. When deciding which data warehouse is best for your workload, here are a series of questions to ask yourself:

• Do you need to ingest data quickly?

• Do you need to run fast queries?

• Do you need to have concurrent workloads?

The use cases discussed in this chapter highlight how the combination of these needs lead to amazing business results.
