Big Data App Development: Benefits, Peculiarities, And Pitfalls

With the growing role of information and commercial data in business and making informed decisions, more and more companies are interested in finding reliable ways to manage this data effectively. However, it is important to note that the volumes of data that can be useful to businesses are constantly growing and the demand for big data services.

Big data app development

When we talk about big data app development, we mean the process of creating software tools and products designed to collect, analyze and manage large volumes of commercially important information. The processed information can be further used to achieve various business goals, more informed decision-making and better strategic planning.

Benefits

The main reason for this trend is the wide range of benefits that a business can gain by implementing powerful tools to manage its commercial data.

⦁ High accuracy of business decisions.
⦁ Early detection of possible problems and effective problem solving.
⦁ Detecting suspicious behavior and preventing fraud.
⦁ Higher customer satisfaction.
⦁ Better understanding of clients’ interests and preferences.
⦁ Better price management.
⦁ Higher operational efficiency.
⦁ Reduction of operating costs.
⦁ Increasing sales and profits.

Technologies and tools

Although the final choice of technologies used to build the solution is usually the responsibility of the big data application development team, it may still be a good idea to review the most popular tools before you start building the software.

⦁ Hadoop and Apache Spark for data storage and processing.
⦁ Hive, RedShift and Athena for querying data.
⦁ SQL/NoSQL databases.
⦁ Scala, Python and Java.
⦁ Kubernetes for building Big Data CI/CD pipelines.

Best practices

⦁ Understand what information should be collected and what data formats should be processed.
⦁ Continuously analyze the performance of your big data tools and don’t ignore potential problems.
⦁ Start slow. Integrating a Big Data solution is not a task that should be rushed.
