Streaming Data Dominates: Over 2000 Developers Say “Only Batch” Is Almost Extinct

In our latest survey, Need For Speed: Fast Data Development Trends, over 2400 developers share their use of batch or streaming for data processing workloads The results show that almost 90% of respondents are using some kind of real-time component...

When the Internet’s pioneers were struggling to gain control of their ballooning data sets, the “classic” Apache Hadoop architecture solved the primary use case of batch-mode analytics and data warehousing.

Although batch continues to play a role, the results also reveal that Apache Hadoop may not be relevant for fast data use cases—83% of Fast Data systems today are not running on Apache Hadoop. The results ranked are as follows:

  • 33% - Mostly batch, a little real-time
  • 27% - Mostly real-time, some batch
  • 25% - Equal amounts batch and real-time
  • 11% - All batch, no real-time
  • 4% - All real-time processing

For these respondents, speed really matters. With 56% using real-time components at least half the time, this shows that enterprises are off to the races and transforming to embrace streaming.
