On Big Data Belgium’s 45th meetup, 3 Belgian companies announced they will opensource an important big data tool: Trumania by Real-Impact Analytics, Dataprism by VRT and Lighthouse by Dataminded.
Trumania
Real-Impact Analytics not only offered to host Big Data Belgium’s 45th meetup on Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Real-impact Analytics has been working on Trumania, which is their synthetic data generation tool. Trumania allows RIA not only to load-test their solutions, but also inject problem situations and validate different scenarios.
Dataprism
Some time ago, VRT introduced their streaming platform VRT.nu. To capture the platform’s usage, a data platform was build to capture the video player’s and user journey events in realtime. The platform is built on Apache Kafka and Apache Kafka Streams and runs in production on AWS. VRT has released their platform into opensource as Dataprism.
Lighthouse
And finally, Dataminded gathered all their best-practices on how to build a data lake. They poured their collective intellect in the opensource library Lighthouse. If you are into Apache Spark and Scala, this is your best starting point.
