Delta Processing¶
3forge's Complex Event Processing Engine uses delta processing, meaning it handles only the changes (deltas) in data rather than the full dataset upon each event. This allows for faster, more resource-efficient processing in real-time environments by ensuring that only modified or new data is transmitted and acted upon.
This approach guarantees several benefits:
- Performance: By only processing deltas, 3forge greatly reduces latency and overhead, making the platform ideal for high-throughput scenarios.
- Efficiency: Smaller data packets reduce network load and memory usage, minimizing the burden on downstream consumers.
- Data Enrichment: Delta updates can trigger real-time summaries, joins, decoration, projection, visual refreshes, and more without requiring a full dataset reload.
The 3forge platform also combines delta processing with several other features to enhance power and productivity. When replicating data across systems, 3forge's conflation engine can batch and send only the latest value within a specified interval, discarding intermediate updates. This further optimizes performance and bandwidth usage.
Delta processing helps 3forge deliver a highly performant data platform ideal for demanding environments such as financial trading, compliance, and analytics.
