Building, testing, and monitoring applications in the cloud is a unique challenge. While many organizations have embraced a DevOps methodology, their DevOps machine is still not at the level of maturity they might like it to be.

Big data experts already agree that the amount of generated data is growing exponentially and forecast that it will reach 175 zettabytes by 2025. That projection is predicated upon current realities, which include a growing number of internet users and the billions of embedded systems and connected devices around the world. Even conceptualizing that amount of data is daunting — but then consider how best to manipulate and export it.
