What is streaming Data?

Streaming data denotes a continuous influx of information originating from diverse sources, which is ingested, processed, and analyzed in real time.

In contrast to batch processing, where data is accumulated and handled in discrete intervals, streaming data enables on-the-fly computation and decision-making, facilitating instantaneous insights and responsive actions.

Characteristics of Streaming Data

Data streams are continuously generated from various sources. Data is often treated as a series of events. Data is processed as it is generated, enabling immediate analysis and allowing for real-time analysis and decision-making. 

Examples of Streaming Data:

Financial transactions,stock market data, social media sentiment, data from sensors and other IoT devices, network traffic.
