Big Data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that traditional data processing software cannot adequately handle, often characterized by high volume, velocity, and variety. Organizations use big data technologies like Hadoop, Spark, and distributed databases to store, process, and analyze this information for insights in fields such as marketing, finance, and healthcare. Data engineers and data scientists work with big data tools to build pipelines and extract actionable patterns from massive datasets.
