This is a kind of help vampire question. If you don't have problems which made you look at big data solutions, don't look for them. Those solutions will create problems for you if you don't already have them.
Using those things (Kafka, Hadoop etc.) when you don't have sufficient data to justify it is like using a supertanker to do your grocery shopping.

- barrkel 6y agoPerhaps the question they should be asking, then, is how do they join such a company.
