I don't think this qualifies as "big" data... it's just data visualization.

The fact you were running it on just one server should have been a clue.

Processing data (stacktraces) from ~500M devices around the world in realtime is BigData.
Interesting project and very cool visualization. In which dialect of LISP are You're Gist's written in?
it's our LISP implementation and it's closer to scheme.
I don't see 'Erlang' when searching that page. Where does it come into play?
The database is built using Erlang and C. Read more about it here: http://highscalability.com/blog/2012/11/26/bigdata-using-erl...
