Storm
Apache Storm is an open-source distributed system for processing unbounded streams of data in real time.
About Storm
Apache Storm is a free, open-source distributed real-time computation system built to reliably process unbounded streams of data, serving a similar role for real-time processing that Hadoop serves for batch processing. It supports use cases including real-time analytics, online machine learning, ETL, continuous computation, and distributed RPC, with benchmarks reporting processing of over one million tuples per second per node. The system integrates with existing queuing and database tools, is fault-tolerant, guarantees data processing, and works with multiple programming languages.
Key features
- Processes unbounded real-time data streams reliably
- Supports real-time analytics, ETL, and machine learning use cases
