Complex Event Processing (CEP)

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a technology used to analyze and interpret large streams of data in real-time. Think of it as a sophisticated alert system for businesses and organizations. It monitors multiple data sources, like sensors or social media feeds, to detect patterns or significant events, allowing immediate responses. For instance, CEP can trigger an alarm if unusual activity is detected in a financial transaction. By filtering and correlating various events, CEP helps organizations make informed decisions quickly, enhancing efficiency and enabling proactive responses to potential issues before they escalate.
