Seamless Data Flow: How Integrations Enhance Stream Processing
Blog post from DeltaStream
Enterprises often use both batch and stream processing systems to achieve comprehensive data processing and analysis, as each serves distinct purposes; batch processing is ideal for analyzing past data to identify patterns, while stream processing is crucial for handling latency-sensitive tasks like IoT monitoring and fraud detection. The integration of these systems, often referred to as "lambda architecture," allows for seamless data movement and transformation, enabling data products to be available in real-time and in the desired format across various platforms. DeltaStream, powered by Flink, exemplifies this integration by providing a platform that facilitates the extraction, transformation, and loading of data, contributing to efficient data governance and reducing complexities and costs associated with managing data across disparate systems. By integrating with platforms like Databricks and Snowflake, DeltaStream enhances the ability of enterprises to process, manage, and leverage data effectively, offering solutions for real-time and batch processing needs, which are particularly beneficial for use cases in industries such as banking, where real-time fraud detection and customer trend analysis are critical.
