Challenges and Learnings

One significant challenge was integrating data from diverse social media platforms, each with its own API limitations and data structures. Developing a unified data model and creating robust data processing pipelines were crucial in addressing this issue. Additionally, optimizing real-time data synchronization and ensuring the dashboard’s performance under heavy data loads were key learning experiences.
