It is widely used in corporate systems for handling complex queries, large datasets, and ensuring data integrity. PostgreSQL's flexibility and performance make it a popular choice for enterprise applications that require reliable, high-performance database management.
Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is an open-source, distributed search and analytics engine used for real-time data exploration. It is widely applied in Big Data environments to index and search large volumes of structured and unstructured data quickly. Elasticsearch is commonly used for log and event data analysis, providing powerful full-text search capabilities and enabling real-time insights in applications like monitoring, security, and business intelligence.
Business Intelligence (BI)
Business Intelligence (BI) refers to the technologies, tools, and practices used to collect, analyze, and present business data to support decision-making. It involves transforming raw data into actionable insights through reporting, dashboards, and data visualization, enabling organizations to make informed decisions, identify trends, and improve performance.
Project Management
Project Management is the process of planning, organizing, and overseeing the execution of a project to achieve specific goals within a set timeframe and budget. It involves managing resources, risks, and stakeholder expectations, while ensuring the project is completed efficiently, on time, and meets the desired outcomes.
