When should I use batch processing?

When should I use batch processing instead of real-time processing?

Batch processing is ideal for handling large volumes of data at once, especially when immediate results aren't necessary.

Can you give me some examples of when batch processing is beneficial?

Sure! It's great for tasks like payroll processing, end-of-day reports, and data backups.

What are the downsides of batch processing?

The main downsides include latency, as results are not immediate, and potential resource inefficiency if not managed well.

How do I decide between batch and real-time processing?

Consider factors like data volume, urgency of results, and resource availability to make the best choice.
