It would be amazing if everything in the digital world happened instantly. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world, and most of the time we need to wait for things to happen. From loading a dynamic web page to processing data, even the best implementations can have delays. Some delays happen because of the time it takes to process and transfer data. Other delays are intentional and enable applications to present visuals or data more elegantly.

Many enterprises have heterogeneous data platforms and technology stacks across different business units or data domains. For decades, they have been struggling with scale, speed, and correctness required to derive timely, meaningful, and actionable insights from vast and diverse big data environments.
