NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant.

Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Trial ? Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.

R is traditionally used as stand alone analysis tool by research teams. With improvements in packages like Rook and RJSONIO, it has become trivial to wrap the computational logic and expose it as an API. Thoughtworks teams are using R as Compute platform to crunch large datasets in real time, using in-memory storage integrated with enterprise systems.
