Curious - what’s the use case for an organization like Uber needing real time analytics at high frame rates? I noticed the emphasis on dashboards but was curious what a real-time dashboard at this scale actually ends up being used for.
Maybe my question is more around, what business decision would be impacted by not having real-time instantly reserved dashboards.
Honest question here not trolling.

- Donald 6y agoAll sorts of departments at Uber use real-time queries (operations, marketplace, eats, new mobility, their data science and growth group, finance, communications, legal.) Marketplace in particular has a demand for real-time prediction, matching and dispatching, and pricing queries.
- bogomipz 6y agoI understand why any marketplace-based system would need real time data but why would any of "growth group, finance, communications, legal" require real-time data to do their jobs?
- elbac 6y agoGPUs are highly specialized CPUs, especially good at some types of number crunching. In analytics workloads, they are used to run queries that can benefit from that specialization. This is not for your typical GPU graphics based use (games/graphics). Has nothing to do with what you see on the screen/frame rate.
