What are Data Products ideal for?

Data Products are particularly well-suited for intensive reads. This is due to their design and optimization for scenarios where there is a need for quick retrieval of large volumes of data. Often, these products are utilized in environments where analytics or reporting is essential, enabling organizations to quickly access and analyze data without significant lag in performance.

Intensive read scenarios typically occur in applications that require real-time or near-real-time data access, such as business intelligence and customer analytics. Data Products are structured to support these demanding requirements, providing high throughputs for read operations and ensuring that users can retrieve insights from their data efficiently.

The focus on intensive reads makes these products less ideal for other aspects such as frequent updates or data storage, where different technologies or methods might be more effective. For example, frequent updates may require transaction-oriented databases rather than data products focused primarily on read performance. Similarly, while data storage is essential, Data Products are not primarily designed for long-term data retention but rather for optimizing speedy access to existing datasets.
