The ABC (via Content Discovery team within Digital Product, P&T) is seeking a modern data management solution to meet the organisation’s evolving needs and ensure that ABC audiences expectations of a highly personalised digital experience is met.

Real-time data ingestion and analytics are paramount for the Content Discovery Recommendation System to be able to serve timely, relevant, and personalised recommendations to a large audience.

It’s crucial to have a data solution that not only functions as a simple database but also evolves into a comprehensive data management solution to meet our needs.

The key characteristics that the new solution must provide are:
1. Speaks the common language of data: SQL
2. Flexibility – allows data manipulation over structured and unstructured data using SQL functionality, such as joins.
3. Storage and compute resources to be independently scaled.
4. Built-in data connectors.
5. Separation of ingest computation from a shared storage layer.
6. A serverless solution where hardware, replica and thread configuration are automated.
