As we at Atlan started to use big data (massive data from hundreds of sources), we quickly found that we needed to move everything to the cloud. With data sizes in TBs, we couldn’t keep a local copy of our data for analysis, so we needed to find a way to directly interact with data
At Atlan, we have always invested in the growth of our teams and people around us. To give back to the community and contribute, we collaborate with tech communities across Delhi NCR. These meetups have helped us learn from others, share our work, and get different perspectives on things we are working on. We had a chance to host Node.js…
