Stream processing

In computer science, stream processing (also known as event stream processing, data stream processing, or distributed stream processing) is a programming paradigm that views streams, or sequences of events in time, as the central input and output objects of computation. Stream processing encompasses dataflow programming, reactive programming, and…
