Tackling Big Data Complexity with Spring

Big Data is all the rage, but building real-world big data solutions can fill developers with rage. While Hadoop provides the de-facto foundation for storing and processing data, real-world scenarios require much more. Capabilities like data ingestion and export, real-time analytics, workflow management, and connectivity with existing enterprise systems are essential. Today, solutions for these capabilities are often limited, inconsistent, and hard to use. In this session we introduce Spring XD, a unified and extensible system that drastically reduces the complexity of building big data solutions.

Spring XD builds upon existing ecosystem projects such as Spring for Apache Hadoop and Spring Integration to provide a unified configuration and runtime model across this wide range of capabilities. We will take a demo-driven tour that shows how you can easily create real-world big data solutions using Spring.
