Message processing vs stream processing architecture
- by Alex Antonatos
-
A quick simple diagram differentiation between message processing and stream processing architecture.
-
The stream processing pattern bears many similarities to the message processing pattern that you are familiar with, but in stream processing, the processor looks at one or more streams as a whole, rather than at discrete messages
-
Streams are aggregated, combined and filtered to observe patterns and enrich data. The output of a stream processor is itself a stream, which may consist of filtered or mapped data or events.
