Micro-batch Processing vs Pure Stream Processing
Developers should learn micro-batch processing when building applications requiring near-real-time analytics, such as fraud detection, IoT sensor monitoring, or real-time dashboard updates, where latency of seconds to minutes is acceptable meets developers should learn pure stream processing when building applications that demand real-time data handling, such as fraud detection, live monitoring dashboards, or event-driven architectures. Here's our take.
Micro-batch Processing
Developers should learn micro-batch processing when building applications requiring near-real-time analytics, such as fraud detection, IoT sensor monitoring, or real-time dashboard updates, where latency of seconds to minutes is acceptable
Micro-batch Processing
Nice PickDevelopers should learn micro-batch processing when building applications requiring near-real-time analytics, such as fraud detection, IoT sensor monitoring, or real-time dashboard updates, where latency of seconds to minutes is acceptable
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where data arrives continuously but processing benefits from batching for efficiency, consistency, and integration with existing batch-oriented systems, as seen in Apache Spark Streaming or cloud data pipelines
- +Related to: apache-spark-streaming, stream-processing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Pure Stream Processing
Developers should learn Pure Stream Processing when building applications that demand real-time data handling, such as fraud detection, live monitoring dashboards, or event-driven architectures
Pros
- +It is essential for scenarios where data freshness is critical, as it avoids delays from batch accumulation and supports immediate decision-making
- +Related to: apache-kafka, apache-flink
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Micro-batch Processing if: You want it is particularly useful in scenarios where data arrives continuously but processing benefits from batching for efficiency, consistency, and integration with existing batch-oriented systems, as seen in apache spark streaming or cloud data pipelines and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Pure Stream Processing if: You prioritize it is essential for scenarios where data freshness is critical, as it avoids delays from batch accumulation and supports immediate decision-making over what Micro-batch Processing offers.
