Stream processing

Stream processing is a type of computer processing that happens in real time, meaning that it works as quickly as information is added. It can be used to monitor and analyze data from streams of information (like from websites or apps) and react to it quickly. Stream processing can also be used to detect problems with streaming data and solve them immediately. It helps make sure that the data you are getting from the stream is accurate and complete.
