Data from devices is growing exponentially, but traditional methods can't scale to handle it. The real problem isn't the data itself, it's that old systems weren't built to process massive, diverse datasets efficiently.

I think the short answer is scaling. And since then, like, we started to collect data in an exponential manner. And think about it like your phone or any electronic device collecting logs, and we have more than we can actually process. And so trying to handle it with the traditional methods that are not very scalable, it's very challenging. Large amount of datasets and new different use cases to handle broader use cases at scale. And I think scale is, is the critical point here, that now we can really handle more datasets with less effort.
