Title
The Stepping Stones from Prototype to Big Data Operations.

Abstract

Eureka! You know your data source and you have your coded algorithms. You press the button, the bits shuffle and out pops the information everyone wants to see, hooray! But now you need to make it run bigger, faster, everyday. Perhaps you need to add features, but keep churning out results as you do. Maybe someone drops the big one on you: The whole business depends on the output of your code. Let me help you discover the ins and outs of turning a big data prototype into a reliable production system before the outs lay you low in a darkened server room.
