Loading...Introduction to Real-Time Analytics
When I first started working on our company's analytics dashboard, I realized that the default approach was not scalable. We were using a simple Laravel application with a MySQL database, but as our user base grew, our queries took longer to execute. I was frustrated when I saw that our dashboard was taking over 5 seconds to load. That's when I decided to dive into the world of real-time analytics.
The Problem with Traditional Analytics
Most traditional analytics systems rely on periodic updates to their data. This approach works well for small applications, but as soon as you scale up, you'll start to notice performance issues. I learned this the hard way when our application started to slow down. We tried to optimize our queries, but it wasn't enough. That's when we decided to switch to a real-time analytics system.
Choosing the Right Technology Stack
We chose to use Laravel as our backend framework and React for our frontend. For our real-time analytics, we decided to use WebSockets.
