Abstract

The growth of digital platforms has generated enormous volumes of structured and unstructured data. This paper explores the integration of big data analytics with cloud computing technologies. Cloud platforms provide scalable storage and parallel processing capabilities that support efficient handling of large datasets. Technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, and distributed databases are analyzed within cloud-based architectures. The proposed framework enables faster data analysis, cost-effective storage, and real-time decision-making. The study concludes that cloud-enabled big data analytics plays a critical role in business intelligence, scientific research, and smart city applications.
