Sockets are usually best for real-time data communications between clients and servers. They are very beneficial over REST APIs, especially for online games. They help users interact with their game and send their data to the server, and then the server forwards this data to other players in the game.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to render real-time data over the server and how sockets are used. We will create a very simple block game using Vue.Js, Node.Js, and Socket.io. We are using Socket.io over REST APIs because we need real-time data, which is only deliverable over sockets. This game isn’t going to be very hardcore; all we will do is render 2D objects using an HTML canvas, and interact with them through various clients, as seen in the image below. Clicking on the buttons moves the block for all players. There will be various components involved in this tutorial.

Data management, analytics, data science, and real-time systems will converge this year enabling new automated and self-learning solutions for real-time business operations.
The global pandemic of 2020 has upended social behaviors and business operations. Working from home is the new normal for many, and technology has accelerated and opened new lines of business. Retail and travel have been hit hard, and tech-savvy companies are reinventing e-commerce and in-store channels to survive and thrive. In biotech, pharma, and healthcare, analytics command centers have become the center of operations, much like network operation centers in transport and logistics during pre-COVID times.
While data management and analytics have been critical to strategy and growth over the last decade, COVID-19 has propelled these functions into the center of business operations. Data science and analytics have become a focal point for business leaders to make critical decisions like how to adapt business in this new order of supply and demand and forecast what lies ahead.
In the next year, I anticipate a convergence of data, analytics, integration, and DevOps to create an environment for rapid development of AI-infused applications to address business challenges and opportunities. We will see a proliferation of API-led microservices developer environments for real-time data integration, and the emergence of data hubs as a bridge between at-rest and in-motion data assets, and event-enabled analytics with deeper collaboration between data scientists, DevOps, and ModelOps developers. From this, an ML engineer persona will emerge.

If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you should probably think about your data architecture and possible best practices.
If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you most probably need to think about your data architecture and consider possible best practices. Gaining a competitive edge, remaining customer-centric to the greatest extent possible, and streamlining processes to get on-the-button outcomes can all be traced back to an organization’s capacity to build a future-ready data architecture.
In what follows, we offer a short overview of the overarching capabilities of data architecture. These include user-centricity, elasticity, robustness, and the capacity to ensure the seamless flow of data at all times. Added to these are automation enablement, plus security and data governance considerations. These points from our checklist for what we perceive to be an anticipatory analytics ecosystem.

Apache Hudi provides tools to ingest data into HDFS or cloud storage, and is designed to get data into the hands of users and analysts quickly.
At a busy, data-intensive enterprise such as Uber, the volumes of real-time data that need to move through its systems on a minute-by-minute basis reaches epic proportions. This calls for a data lake extraordinaire, in which data can immediately be extracted and leveraged across a range of functions, from back-end business applications to front-end mobile apps. Uber depends on up-to-the-minute bookings and alerts as part of its appeal to customers, so its reliance on real-time data streaming platforms is off-the-charts. It has turned to Apache Hudi, an emerging platform that brings stream processing to big data, providing fresh data while being an order of magnitude efficient over traditional batch processing.
I recently had the opportunity to moderate a webcast about Apache Hudi with Nishith Agarwal and Sivabalan Narayanan, both engineers with Uber. Both Agarwal and Narayanan are active members of the Hudi programming committee.
The Hudi data lake project was originally developed at Uber in 2016, open-sourced in 2017, and submitted to the Apache Incubator in January 2019. Apache Hudi data lake technology enables stream processing on top of Apache Hadoop compatible cloud stores and distributed file systems. The solution provides tools to ingest data onto HDFS or cloud storage, as well as provide an incremental approach to resource-intensive ETL, Hive, or Spark jobs. It is designed to get data into the hands of users and analysts much quicker.

Robust testing means that your Real-Time Application is more stable and reliable than ever before.
When building a Real-Time Application, any engineer would agree that testing the Application is half of the battle. Creating tests that fully cover every scenario is challenging and time-consuming.
Applications are becoming faster and easier to build in new low-code environments. As the Application creation process is revolutionized, the test creation process must be quick to follow; otherwise, the quality of Applications will begin to suffer

The opportunities big data offers also come with very real challenges that many organizations are facing today. Often, it’s finding the most cost-effective, scalable way to store and process boundless volumes of data in multiple formats that come from a growing number of sources. Then organizations need the analytical capabilities and flexibility to turn this data into insights that can meet their specific business objectives.
This Refcard dives into how a data lake helps tackle these challenges at both ends — from its enhanced architecture that’s designed for efficient data ingestion, storage, and management to its advanced analytics functionality and performance flexibility. You’ll also explore key benefits and common use cases.
As technology continues to evolve with new data sources, such as IoT sensors and social media churning out large volumes of data, there has never been a better time to discuss the possibilities and challenges of managing such data for varying analytical insights. In this Refcard, we dig deep into how data lakes solve the problem of storing and processing enormous amounts of data. While doing so, we also explore the benefits of data lakes, their use cases, and how they differ from data warehouses (DWHs).
