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