🌊Streaming Platforms

Streaming platforms are also a subset of data movement tools, just like Ingestion tools.

We classify a Streaming platform if it contains the functionality to facilitate the movement of data from one place to another in more or less real-time, that is, without a trigger. In addition, most cloud vendors have some form of managed service for Streaming Platforms too. For example, Datastream in GCP. Streaming platforms are not direct integrations to service-bus type architectural facilities such as Azure Service Bus.
