real time data

When it comes to fraud detection, initial detection is key, but so is the ability to quickly dissect and address the problem to minimize losses. This means access to real-time data is paramount. The only way to combat fraud in the digital age is to fight fire with fire…automation with automation. In this episode, we’re joined by Jaylyn Stoesz, Staff Data Engineer at Ibotta, a free cashback rewards platform, who walks us through Ibotta’s multifaceted approach to fraud detection that includes Apache Druid and gives us the full scoop on their use of Imply Polaris.

Real-time data has many applications but one place where it’s extremely valuable is with usage tracking, billing, and generating reports. Ensuring the freshness and availability of this data is not only essential for financial success but also for establishing a more challenging aspect—trust. That's precisely why Orb chose Apache Druid and Imply as the backbone of their advanced pricing platform. This platform encompasses invoicing, usage monitoring, and comprehensive reporting. On this episode, Kshitij Grover, co-founder and CTO at Orb, guides us through their innovative utilization of Druid, allowing their users to assess metrics across queries and beyond. He also gives some great advice for those just starting on their real-time data journey. Definitely worth a listen...or two!

One of Apache Druid's top use cases is operational visibility, which involves monitoring, understanding, and optimizing systems in real time. If that sounds a little boring, you’re in for a treat. We talk about what you need to get started and then dive into some really interesting use cases for operational visibility across industries. Listen to learn about how operational visibility and IoT are making transportation safer and helping utility companies plan their energy needs or how it’s being used to stop money laundering at a major bank. Our guest, Will To, Sr. Product Evangelist at Imply, taps into his background as an educator to give us the full story, and some bonus insights.

The term “real time” gets thrown around a lot, especially when it comes to data. Gwen Shapira, co-founder and CPO of Nile joins us to help define real-time data, discuss who needs it (and who probably doesn't) and how to not build yourself into a corner with your architecture. When you're able to harness the power of real-time insights, you can do incredible things from simplifying daily decision making to building trust with customers. Gwen discusses her approach to modern SaaS platforms and how to reach the ultimate goal of bringing the right data to the right person at the right time.
