Chapter 6: Data Architecture
In this chapter, we explore how data is processed and stored. We will look at specialized data stores that are uniquely tailored to each dataset and purpose. We will explore traditional Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) workloads, as well as modern big data solutions.
We will more specifically cover the following topics:
- Looking at the data architecture map
- Analyzing traditional data practices
- Delving into non-traditional data services
- Diving into big data and AI services
- Getting our hands dirty with a near real-time data streaming use case
This chapter will provide you with a detailed understanding of different data services and a good overview of big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). You will also gain some hands-on experience of how to process data in real time with Azure.
Let's now review the technical requirements.
