Hi all,
With exponential growth in data from IoT sensors, user interactions, and enterprise workloads, I think scalable data infrastructure will be the backbone enabling powerful big data analytics in coming years. Imagine companies and organizations able to ingest petabytes of raw data in real-time, store it efficiently, and run analytics workloads from machine-learning training to real-time dashboards without lag.
Such infrastructure could transform how decisions are made: urban planning, supply-chain optimization, climate modeling, or consumer insights — all built on continuous, large-scale data flows. The ability to horizontally scale storage and compute resources dynamically seems critical.
That said, what obstacles do you foresee? Data governance, latency, interoperability, or cost of maintaining such infrastructures? Does anyone here have experience migrating legacy systems to scalable data back-ends for analytics?
Looking forward to your thoughts and real-world insights.

Great points! Scalable data infrastructure is definitely becoming essential as data volumes explode. Real-time processing and flexible storage can give organizations a huge competitive edge. The biggest challenges I’ve seen are integration with older systems and keeping costs predictable. Strong governance and clear data pipelines make a big difference.
