Real-time applications are software systems designed to process data and execute tasks with a sense of immediacy, responding to events as they occur or within a very short, predictable timeframe. This contrasts sharply with batch processing systems, which collect and process data in groups at scheduled intervals. The core of real-time functionality lies in the instantaneous sending and receiving of live data, allowing information to be transmitted and presented in milliseconds, mirroring real-world events. This capability is crucial in a world where delays can have significant consequences, from financial losses in trading to safety hazards in autonomous driving.
