Table 1.

Comparison of stream and batch processing characteristics

Aspect	Stream processing	Batch processing
Latency	Low latency	High latency
Complexity	More complex to implement and manage	Less complex to implement
Processing mode	Processed as it arrives	Processed after being collected
Error handling	Need to be identified and managed in real time	Can be identified and corrected before execution at any time
Fault tolerance	More difficult due to the real-time nature	Easier to achieve because the entire batch can be reprocessed
Use case example	Monitoring sensor data in IoT system	Monthly reports
