The True Cost of Real-Time Data Streaming

Thanks to ever-increasing adoption technologies like Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, the continuous movement and streaming of real-time data has transformed how modern businesses operate… but is the cost of data streaming worth it? From powering personalized recommendations to enabling instant fraud detection, streaming is often seen as synonymous with innovation and competitive advantage.

Tracking Modular Content Effectiveness with Micro-Conversions

Recently, marketing campaigns need to be evaluated on more than just final conversions. While macro-conversions, final sales, the completion of a contact form, or other actions are critical and still the most important end result, they fail to explain how any one piece of content persuades action in the interim. That's why micro-conversions are so useful. These conversions assess the various, smaller components that happen in the interim which lead to the larger conversions down the line.

That makes it essential to have data infrastructure that can back it up.
