Published on: 12-01-2024

In today's business landscape, harnessing the power of big data is essential for driving innovation and generating new revenue streams. However, a recent survey by Wakefield Research (Study Reveals Massive Incentive to Activate Unused Data) reveals that only 20% of employees can fully leverage their data for revenue generation. A staggering 78% attribute this untapped potential to the rapid growth of data, leading to on-premises silos.

The solution?

Apache Spark. Apache Spark is an open-source, distributed processing system used for big data workloads including Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) operations. It utilizes in-memory caching, and optimized query execution for fast analytic queries against data of any size. Spark also integrates with multiple programming languages (Python, JAVA, Scala) to let you manipulate distributed data sets like local collections.

Spark Pools in Azure Synapse Architecture

Apache Spark finds a perfect companion in Microsoft Azure. This integration, known as Apache Spark in Azure, combines the strengths of Spark's distributed computing system with Azure's cloud platform.
