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.


Understanding Data Engineering

Learn about the difference between batching and streaming, scaling streaming systems, and real-world applications.

Streaming Concepts

Ingénieur professionnel en données en Python

A set of temperature sensors for a single data center, where the data should be processed more quickly.

A group of traffic sensors, doubling in quantity, but should process data within the same SLA. For budget reasons, only a single server can be used.

A worldwide set of connected doorbells, which should be balanced based on location.

Power utilization sensors across a large metro area, which should have no more than 10 sensors per central server.
