How do my clients use our offer? What configuration combinations are in demand and what trends are emerging? How can I improve the user experience? These and other questions are frequently asked by board members and stakeholders and must be answered within a short period of time. Especially in companies that provide configurable products, it is important to support the product and pricing managers in short-term and competition-related matters with all the important data in a timely manner. In our use case, Cassandra, Kafka and Flink will take up this challenge. In this session, we will present a reference architecture based on selected use cases and demonstrate what applications arise for companies. We also take a closer look to information privacy and give some words about data visualisation.
