Slide 12

Slide 12 text

What is "Polyglot data persistence" ? Philosophy: "use the right tool(s) for the job" Assumption: specialized products are better suited than generic products Examples: ● The original RDBMS with a relational data model for financial data (such as checkouts, invoices, refunds and more) and reporting. ● MongoDB with a flexible document data model for product catalog. ● Cassandra for high volume use cases such as real-time analytics (using Apache Spark) and user activity logs. ● Riak key-value store for managing shopping carts. ● Redis for managing user sessions and an in-memory cache for low latency reads. ● Neo4J graph database for storing recommendations.

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Issues with polyglot data persistence ● Requires learning, administering and maintaining multiple technologies ● Needs custom scripts and / or application logic for shipping data from one system to the other, or for syncing systems ● Potential atomicity and consistency issues across the different database systems (i.e. no transactions)

Slide 14

Multi-model databases to the rescue?

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

One engine. One query language. Multiple models.

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

ArangoDB is a native multi-model database, with support for key-values, documents, graphs and (recently added) search functionality

Slide 19 text

Databases, collections, documents On the highest level, data in ArangoDB is organized in "databases" and "collections" (think "schemas" and "tables") ● Collections are used to store "documents" of similar types ● "Documents" are just JSON objects with arbitrary attributes, with optional nesting (sub-objects, sub-arrays) ● There is no fixed schema for documents (any JSON object is valid)

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Homogeneous documents In the easiest case, documents in a collection are homogeneous (i.e. same attributes and types) Example use case: product categories { "_key" : "books", "title" : "Books" } { "_key" : "cam", "title" : "Camera products" } { "_key" : "kitchen", "title" : "Kitchen Appliances" } { "_key" : "toys", "title" : "Toys & Games" } Processing such data in AQL queries is as straightforward as with an SQL query on a relational, fixed-schema table

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

AQL queries – hello world examples // SELECT c.* FROM categories c WHERE c._key IN ... FOR c IN categories FILTER c._key IN [ 'books', 'kitchen' ] RETURN c // SELECT c._key, c.title FROM categories c ORDER BY c.title FOR c IN categories SORT c.title RETURN { _key: c._key, title: c.title }

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

Heterogeneous documents example { "_key" : "A053720452", "category" : "books", "name" : "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", "author" : "Joanne K. Rowling", "isbn" : "978-0-7515-6535-5", "published" : 2016 } { "_key" : "ZB4061305X34", "category" : "toys", "name" : "Nerf N-Strike Elite Mega CycloneShock Blaster", "upc" : "630509278862", "colors" : [ "black", "red" ] }

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

The graph data model ● ArangoDB also supports the graph data model ● Graph queries can reveal which documents are directly or indirectly connected to which other documents, and via what connections ● Graphs are often used for data exploration, and to understand connections in the data

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Edges ● In graphs, connections between documents are called "edges" ● In ArangoDB edges are stored in "edge collections" ● Edges have "_from" and "_to" attributes, which reference the connected vertices ● Edges are always directed (_from -> _to), but can also be queried in opposite order

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

Edge collection example Let's assume there are some "employees" documents like this: { "_key" : "sofia", "_id" : "employees/sofia" } { "_key" : "adam", "_id" : "employees/adam" } { "_key" : "sarah", "_id" : "employees/sarah" } { "_key" : "jon", "_id" : "employees/jon" } And there is an "isManagerOf" edge collection connecting them: { "_from" : "employees/sofia", "_to" : "employees/adam" } { "_from" : "employees/sofia", "_to" : "employees/sarah" } { "_from" : "employees/sarah", "_to" : "employees/jon" }

ArangoDB is the perfect DB for social data analytics

Slide 44

In fact, CDP is also the data lake platform to store anything about customer profile

Slide 45

Data Lake: at first, store anything then do analytics later

Slide 47

Implicit data is gathered by predictive analytics. It also includes loyalty, length of relationship, purchasing history, and prior responses to marketing campaigns. Explicit data is easier to gather and analyze because it is usually provided to the company directly from the customer.

Slide 48

Slide 48 text

CDP need native multi-model database 1. Graph data model can be used for customer journey management 2. Homogeneous document model can be used for customer profile 3. Flexibility of ArangoDB is the key to scale system easier 4. Scalability of ArangoDB can help business analytics grow faster Graph database Document + Key-Value

Case study: Social Data Analytics with ArangoDB

Slide 52

Slide 52 text

Example problem: Classify data into 3 segments

Slide 53

Slide 53 text

User Story 1. You need to do social analytics to find key trends 2. You develop a social media crawler to crawl public data from FaceBook API 3. After crawling, you have 988 records in the collection “fb_feeds” The key task: classify all feeds into 3 segments 1. High value: top trending feeds that have more than 1000 likes 2. At risk: top feed with users that have any ANGRY reaction 3. Sell opportunity: top feed with users that have LOVE reaction

Slide 54

Case study: Customer Journey Analytics (CJA) with ArangoDB

Slide 58

Slide 58 text

User Story 1. An e-commerce website needs to track all data points in customer journey. 2. A web developer put a CDP JavaScript tag into website for collecting data. 3. After a week, they have a data collection for customer journey analytics The key task: classify all customer profiles into 3 segments 1. High value: spending more than 100 USD in a week 2. At risk: take web browsing more than 5 minutes but no order and do log-out 3. Cross-sell opportunity: is a student and "place an order" for things like "textbook"
