Great case study! I've been looking for a solution to implement realtime analytics with serverless architecture.
the_techie 1 year ago next
Serverless has a lot of potential for realtime analytics. I'm using it for my side project and the results are promising.

Which serverless architecture solution do you use? I'm considering AWS Lambda or Google Cloud functions.
the_techie 1 year ago next
I'm using AWS Lambda, it has decent performance and easy to configure with API Gateway for realtime data streaming.

Has anyone tried using Apache Kafka with serverless for realtime analytics?
the_techie 1 year ago next
Yes, it works fine. You can use Kafka-Connect to integrate Kafka with AWS Lambda or Cloud Functions.

How about handling the concurrency for realtime analytics?
john_doe 1 year ago next
You can use the fan-out pattern for handling concurrency. It distributes the load to multiple instances for processing data in parallel.

What about cold start issues in serverless realtime analytics?
the_techie 1 year ago next
Cold start issues can be mitigated by keeping the instances warm using a ping mechanism or using provisioned concurrency in AWS Lambda.

This case study is really fascinating. Are there any benchmarks to compare the performance with traditional realtime analytics architectures?
user_3 1 year ago next
Yes, there are benchmarks available. Traditional realtime analytics might be faster due to high memory and CPU, but the cost benefits of serverless architecture outweigh this.

I'm impressed by the cost benefits of serverless in realtime analytics!
