Dataflow

Dataflow refers to the movement and processing of data through a system, similar to a series of steps or stages. Imagine data as water flowing through pipes, where it gets collected, processed, and routed to where it needs to go. In computing, dataflow models focus on how data moves between tasks or components, enabling efficient, real-time processing and analysis. This approach helps systems handle large volumes of data smoothly, providing timely results without waiting for all processing to complete first. It’s a way to organize and manage data operations for faster and more flexible computing.
