Data Science/Machine Learning applications have been everywhere now and radically changing our lives and business. With tons of awesome out-of-the-box ML packages today, everyone is able to build models in a fast and cheap fashion. This is particularly true when working on your own laptop as a local playground. However, to build a more exciting and practical machine learning application, big data tools and cloud platforms are what you should take into account in your toolbox. In this article, I will give you a quick tour of building a (near) real-time system using big data tools and cloud platform. Hopefully, you can grasp a big picture of all these “LEGO pieces” after the read.
