🧩 Data-Intensive Applications

Systems where data (quantity, complexity, rate of change) is the primary bottleneck, not CPU power.

🎯 Mastery Criteria

Student can classify an application as Data-Intensive or Compute-Intensive based on its bottleneck.
🤔 Reflection:
"Why does the shift from Compute-Intensive to Data-Intensive necessitate the 'Three-Legged Stool' architecture?"

⚠️ Common Trap

Big Data just means 'lots of bytes'. (It also means complexity and velocity).
