• <city view from above> • It’s the same thing that happened. It’s the same piece of data. we just want different things from it • apps -> respond to something happening (an order was placed!) • analytics -> tell us what happened (how many orders were placed?) • Historically, technology was such you had to. OLTP/OLAP was a compromise; you can have quick data in or quick data out : choose one. • Batch ETL was the inevitable sticking plaster on top of that. Whilst you only had a few systems inhouse from which to get data and one to write it to this didn’t matter. But that’s no longer the case • This isn’t about a compromise, about crowbaring everything into a new shiny technology that I’ve found • this is about adopting a unified platform that enables BOTH apps and analytics to be better (lower latency, more flexible architecture, more scalable) • this is all enabled through events, implemented on a highly scalable, distributed technology with huge integration capabilities and universally-supported API
