Data Stream Management Systems

Data Stream Management Systems (DSMS) are software tools designed to process, analyze, and manage continuous flows of real-time data. They enable organizations to handle high-velocity information from sources like sensors, social media, or financial markets, allowing immediate insights and responses. Unlike traditional databases that store static data, DSMS focus on ongoing data streams, filtering, aggregating, or analyzing data as it arrives. Think of them as sophisticated real-time data filters and analyzers that help businesses make timely decisions based on live information.
