E-commerce companies rely on Big Data to glean valuable, real-time insights that drive smarter, more profitable business decisions. Problems can arise, however, when Big Data infrastructures become riddled with bottlenecks and don’t perform optimally, causing critical intelligence to be delayed or unavailable. Some e-commerce companies have attempted to “scale away” these inefficiencies by adding hardware. Yet bigger clusters require more expensive manpower and can make performance optimization even harder.
