Building a BI Solution in the Cloud for a Startup
Starting with a clean slate and building something from scratch can be liberating, but also daunting. Freshful by eMAG launched as a new business project from the Romanian ecommerce company, with the goal of delivering fresh groceries to people’s doors. We approached it as a startup with an infrastructure that harnesses the power of the cloud.
In this session, we will cover:
- Where we began when creating a BI infrastructure on AWS
- The tool selection process
- An actual hands-on example of an ETL process that runs on this infrastructure, moving the data from a source and into our BI Visualization Tool
- Insights from the project, including the costs, the good experiences, and the challenges we faced
