Learn from Dhruv Bansal, Founder and CSO of Infochimps, in this interactive demo of the Big Data Starter Kit for Developers. Watch the story of discovery unfold in batch and stream processing as we use sample social data and write algorithms on the fly to find business insights - targeting, personalization, segmentation.
8. Today’s Use Case
We’ve released a new product in two test markets (NYC
& Chicago). We’ve started running paid ad campaigns
in each of these cities.
• What city are the web visitors coming from?
• Which city is responding better to the ad campaign?
• Which city has web visitors that are more likely to
buy? (Attribution)

INTRO: Infochimps Enterprise Cloud for Big Data What do we do?
An easy analogy: in the same what the Rails helps you build a Ruby web application, the Big Data Starter Kit helps you build a Big Data application. A collection of tools and examples to design and test your data processing locally, while keeping the same functionality on the cloud at any scale. This is free and available at http://www.infochimps.com/community
Using the Starter Kit for App Devlocally (e.g., on their laptop) simulate real-time ingestion or analytics pipelines as well as batch Hadoop map/reduce jobs using samples of real datafocus on business logic, well-documented code, and comprehensive testing for a secure and robust application; not on complex, time-consuming Big Data systems managementleverage a Rails-like agile application development environment which encourages iteration, collaboration, testing, and continuous improvement
Today’s Use Case:Understanding Who is Visiting Your WebsiteHypothetical example:Bricks & Clicks Retail Store, who releases a new product in two test markets. Starts running paid ad campaigns to promote that product. Question: What city are the web visitors coming from? Which city is responding better to the ad campaign? Which city has web visitors that are more likely to buy?For this example, we’re going to use Tableau as our interface for this example. For your purposes, you would most likely develop a custom front end. We’re going to explore a quick and easy way to build and test a data processing workflow, used in the backend of applications. The code that we will write and test on your laptop will function exactly the same on any scale of data. Let me say that again. With this Starter Kit, the exact same data processing workflow you design and build on your laptop can be used to power a Big Data application on the Infochimps Enterprise Cloud.
