Presented by : O’Reilly

Your web, mobile, and IoT applications generate an endless stream of information.

This Information can improve the operational efficiency and insight of your business – but only if you have the right technology to quickly capture and analyze the data.

To benefit from Spark, you need to get data into Spark as fast as possible for analysis and then make the results available to applications and analysts just as fast.

Pairing Spark with a NoSQL database like Couchbase helps your enterprise get smarter, faster.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

• How you can leverage Spark and NoSQL for use cases like improving recommendations based on customer profiles and shopping carts and generating real-time alerts based on sensor data
• Three different ways for moving data between a NoSQL database and Spark – Core Spark with RDDs, Spark SQL with DataFrames, and Spark Streaming with DStreams
• How to create a feedback loop between your NoSQL database and Spark so your applications can use iterative analysis to provide the best user experience possible

Presenters:

Will is now responsible for interoperability at Couchbase, but previously he was a product manager in the big data platform team at HP, a senior director of product management at SAP HANA, and the senior director of SAP Research’s global Big Data program centered on big data and machine learning.
