Getting Started with Arduino and InfluxDB
Time series data differs from “normal” data in an interesting way. The essential characteristic is that the data’s primary point of reference is a timestamp showing at which point in time a sample of data was measured. Time series databases like InfluxDB are helpful for situations that involve this kind of data.
How to Use Big Data with Spark Successfully Today
You’d probably struggle to find a big data practitioner who’s never heard of Apache Spark or used big data with Spark. We’d even go so far as to say it’s near impossible—and that’s for good reason. Spark is well known because it’s fast, reliable, and capable. Let’s dive into why that is, answer some common questions surrounding Spark computing, how to easily use it to achieve success, and more.
