Big Data Analysis vs Traditional Data Analysis
Developers should learn Big Data Analysis when working with datasets that exceed the capabilities of conventional databases, such as in real-time analytics, machine learning, or IoT applications meets developers should learn traditional data analysis when working with small to medium-sized structured datasets, performing exploratory data analysis (eda), or in domains like business intelligence, academic research, or quality control where interpretability and statistical rigor are key. Here's our take.
