Stream processing is about processing data as it arrives. Unlike “batch processing” businesses don’t have to wait a certain amount of time (usually in hours to a day based on the volume of the data) to store, analyze and get results on the incoming data. This is particularly useful in cases like fraud detection, system monitoring, stock market analysis, website activity tracking and many more. Early detection is key for all these cases hence stream processing is a perfect fit here.
