Modern Analytics: One Size Does Not Fit All
summary
Argues that one size does not fit all for analytics by pinpointing memory, storage and data models as the unseen forces reshaping platforms; shows how columnar formats (Parquet/ORC) and tools like Presto/Hive fail for highly normalized ERP data but how in-memory join indexes and an agile data pipeline let companies go from hours to seconds. Examples: close books 5 days earlier, 40% cut in food production costs across 28,000 stores, 35 billion transactions handled, 2,000 SKUs repriced in 16 hours.
