Just how real is "real-time," really?

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Everyone says their data stack is “real-time.” But when milliseconds matter, most architectures break down under the pressure of freshness, scale, or concurrency.
In this webinar, we’ll explore what real-time really means in 2025 — and why it’s no longer enough. We’ll break down common misconceptions, highlight the hidden costs of patchwork pipelines, and show what it takes to power truly instant decisions at scale.
What you'll learn:
- Why most “real-time” claims don’t hold up in production
- The bottlenecks that emerge at scale — even with modern tools
- How to evaluate if your current stack is helping or holding you back
- What a new class of infrastructure, like Tacnode, enables: instant data, at scale, for AI and analytics
Who it’s for:
Data leaders, analytics engineers, platform architects, and AI/ML practitioners
