Drupal for Big Data - is it ready? (European Drupal Days 2015)

The document discusses whether the content management system Drupal is ready to handle big data. It defines big data as large or complex datasets that are difficult to process using traditional methods due to their volume, velocity and variety. The document explores how Drupal could potentially be used to parse unstructured data through views plugins and the Feeds module. Both pros and cons of using Drupal for big data are presented, such as its large community but also being too robust. Example case studies are briefly described but involve relatively small datasets. Overall the document examines if Drupal is prepared to manage large and complex datasets.
