Q: What are main advantages of the SlamData open source project?

Q: What were the main challenges you faced in developing the SlamData open source project?

A: SlamData has pioneered an entirely new paradigm for modern analytics. Built on MRA (Multi-dimensional relational Algebra) “Murray” is the powerful mathematical foundation that makes generalized analytics across heterogeneous NoSQL data possible. SlamData also provides a novel way of dealing with the schema-less nature of NoSQL data. Both of these are key aspects of SlamData and required significant innovation to solve. Innovations nobody else has achieved.
