Combined with other information like built environment data and collision reports, Louisville could bring this together in the cloud for advanced analytics.Using AWS, Louisville’s Innovation ...

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Leading technology companies, such as Netflix and Airbnb, are building on AWS to solve problems on the edge of the data ecosystem. While these companies show us what data and analytics make possible, the complexity and scale of their problems aren’t typical.
