Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about our approach.
What is a "Edge Data Stack"?
It refers to using lightweight, focused tools (like DuckDB, dbt, Polars) to handle specific data tasks efficiently, often avoiding the need for large, centralized data warehouses. It emphasizes speed, cost-effectiveness, and component modularity.
How does "Lean AI" differ from traditional AI?
Lean AI prioritizes practical, efficient models that solve specific business problems with measurable impact. It avoids overly complex 'boil the ocean' AI projects, focusing instead on delivering value quickly and iteratively.
When is Edge Analytics most beneficial?
Edge Analytics shines when you need real-time insights from data generated by sensors, devices, or local systems (e.g., IoT, manufacturing, retail). It reduces latency and data transfer costs by processing data closer to the source.
Isn't this just for small data?
Not necessarily. While excellent for smaller datasets, tools like DuckDB can handle surprisingly large amounts of data efficiently, especially when combined with smart processing strategies. The focus is on 'edge' scope per problem, not necessarily Big data size.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Absolutely. Our approach often involves integrating these modern tools alongside your existing infrastructure, enhancing specific workflows or offloading tasks from overburdened systems.
What kind of results can we expect?
Clients typically see significant reductions in cloud costs, faster time-to-insight, increased data engineering velocity, and improved performance for specific data applications.
