Continuous queries

Continuous queries are real-time data searches that run constantly, constantly monitoring data streams for specific patterns or information. Instead of running a single, one-time search, they automatically update results as new data arrives. Think of it like a news alert service that keeps track of breaking stories, but for data. They are used in applications like monitoring sensor data, financial markets, or network security, allowing for immediate response to significant changes without manual intervention. This ongoing process ensures systems stay current, timely, and can react swiftly to evolving information.
