Streaming Visualizations Native to Modern Data Platforms
Arcadia Data delivers real-time analytics and BI directly from streaming data platforms such as Apache Kafka®, Apache Kudu™, and Apache Solr™.
Why Use Streaming Visualizations?
Streaming visualizations give you real-time data analytics and BI to see the trends and patterns in your data to help you react more quickly. A wide variety of use cases such as fraud detection, data quality analysis, operations optimization, and more need quick responses, and real-time BI helps users drill down to issues that require immediate attention.
