In this chapter, we have explored a new breed of distributed and scalable technologies that allow us to reliably and securely store, manage, model, transform, process, and analyze huge volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in both batch and real time in order to derive real actionable insights using advanced analytics.
In the next chapter, we will guide you through how to install, configure, deploy, and administer a single-node analytical development environment utilizing a subset of these technologies, including Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Jupyter Notebook, Python, Java, and Scala!
