What is streaming?
Streaming refers to the continuous and real-time processing of data as it is generated or received. Unlike batch processing, where data is processed in chunks or batches at fixed intervals, streaming enables the processing of data continuously and incrementally. It allows applications to ingest, process, and analyze data in real time, enabling timely decision-making and immediate responses to events.
Different types of streaming architectures are available to handle streaming data. We will look at them next.
