Cloud Analytics
Cloud Analytics refers to the use of cloud-based platforms and services to collect, process, analyze, and visualize data at scale. It leverages cloud infrastructure (like compute, storage, and networking) to handle big data workloads, enabling real-time insights, predictive modeling, and business intelligence without on-premises hardware constraints. Common implementations include data warehouses, data lakes, and machine learning pipelines hosted on major cloud providers.
Developers should learn Cloud Analytics when building data-driven applications, performing large-scale data processing, or implementing AI/ML solutions, as it offers scalability, cost-efficiency, and managed services that reduce operational overhead. It is essential for use cases like real-time analytics, IoT data streams, customer behavior analysis, and automated reporting in industries such as e-commerce, finance, and healthcare.
