The "Big Data Technology Landscape" looks like a typical century old but modern metropolis: chaos and hectic movement. New trendy districts are being build while other are degrading into slums. As an independent applied research lab ("Sizing Servers"), we participated in many innovative big data projects of several Flemish small businesses. So while the big data landscape is still a chaotic mess to us, we have learned the advantages and disadvantages of quite a few big data technologies the hard way. Join us as we discuss building a data pipeline for different use cases, using open source technology within the budget constraints of a typical SME.
