Real-World Use Cases

Streaming is a huge aspect of the data world right now and is being used by nearly every industry from manufacturing to healthcare. Would you like to learn more about the general concepts behind data pipelines and how the processes work?

This course provides a general introduction to streaming concepts including batching, queuing, and stream processing along with where they fit into data processing frameworks. It covers real-world examples of how streaming is implemented in production. It is designed as a general introduction to these concepts and does not require an extensive background in data processing.

A client requires an order handling system for digital items that are always in-stock. They want each sale fulfilled in the order it was received.

An online game that can only support a single user, but your manager asks to allow each user to click a `I want to play` button and wait their turn.

A client wants to run a raffle where user information is centrally stored. Once the raffle starts, they want to obtain the winner info on demand.

Develop an image processing system, where you must process as many items as possible at a time. Ordering does not matter in this case.
