Video Series — Getting to Grips with Confluent
Stream Processing Basics — Why Is It Useful?
Video Summary
Before we kick off our deep-dive into Confluent's extensive capabilities, we must first establish a key term that will pop up often in this video series - stream processing.
Our technical consultant, Oscar Moores, explores the basics of stream processing in this episode: a system which incorporates data streaming (getting the data and taking it where it needs to be in real-time) and data processing (utilising the data so that its as valuable as possible for your business requirements). Furthermore, Oscar then describes the critical differences between stream processing and batch processing, which is a more traditional data analysis process, but is also slower and less efficient.
Finally, Oscar highlights some key use cases for stream processing, including fraud detection (finance), real time chat monitoring (gaming), and more.
