Hadoop & Startups: Where Open Source Meets Business Data
This guest post was written by Kovas Boguta, Head of Analytics at Weebly. In 2009, Kovas wrote a guest postabout visualizing real-time social structures.A decade ago, the open-source LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python) stack began to transform web startup economics. As new open-source webservers, databases, and web-friendly programming languages liberated developers from proprietary software and big iron hardware, startup costs plummeted. This lowered the barrier to entry, changed the startup funding game, and led to the emergence of the current Angel/Seed funding ecosystem. In addition, of course, to enabling a generation of webapps we all use everyday.This same process is now unfolding in the Big Data space, with an open-source ecosystem centered around Hadoop displacing the expensive, proprietary solutions. Startups are creating more intelligent businesses and more intelligent products as a result.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/XkLEjLGYLVo/
