What are the performance differences between batch and stream processing?

What are the performance differences between batch and stream processing?

Batch processing handles large volumes of data at once, while stream processing deals with data in real-time.

Which one is more efficient for real-time analytics?

Stream processing is generally more efficient for real-time analytics as it processes data instantly.

Are there scenarios where batch processing is preferred?

Yes, batch processing is preferred for tasks like end-of-day reports or large data migrations where real-time isn't critical.

How do I choose between the two for my application?

Consider your data volume, processing speed requirements, and whether you need real-time insights to make the best choice.
