Why Do We Use Apache Spark? 🔥

Apache Spark has become a favorite in the data world—and here’s why:

🔹 Speed – 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce ⚡
🔹 Unified Engine – Works for batch, streaming, ML, and graph data.
🔹 Scalability – Handles petabytes of data with ease 🌍
🔹 Ease of Use – APIs in Python, Java, Scala, R = accessible for everyone.
🔹 Community Power – One of the most active Apache projects.

💡 Fun Fact: Spark powers Netflix recommendations and Uber’s real-time analytics!

Spark isn’t just a tool, it’s the backbone of modern data processing.
