The evolution of the internet over the past few decades has undeniably impacted how our societies function. From facilitating globalization to making new technology like social media and consumer apps available to nearly every person on the planet, the web has seeped into most aspects of our day-to-day lives. However, this ubiquity comes with an ever-growing need to manage enormous amounts of data, which requires better and better data infrastructure.
Back in the Web 1.0 era, we could really only read static content on the internet. A decade later, with Web 2.0, it became possible to read and write on online social networks. Now, with Web 3.0 and the dawn of AI and blockchain, a single person generates around 1.7 MB of data every second. That adds up to approximately 146.88 GB of data per person per day. Such demanding workloads mean that data infrastructure is now mission-critical for most businesses. Modern data infrastructure supports everything from daily operational workloads (OLTP) to strategic decision-making workloads (OLAP).
