Developing streaming applications with Streams Flows
You can use the IBM® Streams Flows Extension
for Microsoft Visual Studio Code to develop streaming applications called flows and deploy them to an IBM Streams instance or an OpenShift or Kubernetes environment. Flows are created by using the simple drag-and-drop interface to ingest and analyze
streaming data.
A streams flow is a continuous flow of massive volumes of moving data that real-time
analytics can be applied to. With Streams Flows you can access and analyze massive amounts of changing data as it is created. Regardless of
whether the data is structured or unstructured, you can leverage data to scale to drive real-time
analytics for up-to-the minute business decisions.
A streams flow is easy to design and deploy. You select the data source and target, and the streams flow is set up for you. Sample flows are available that you can tweak to meet your specific analytic needs. You can use sample data to test your streams flow design before you push it to production with real data.
Download the IBM Streams Flows Extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code from the Visual Studio Marketplace to get started.
