Survey: AI, ML, and IoT Forcing Developers Towards Streaming Data

Lightbend announced the release of a new survey of more than 800 IT professionals who identify as using stream processing in their applications and systems. The 2019 Streaming Data and the Future Tech Stack report focuses on the use cases, technology choices and obstacles faced by early adopters of real-time data use cases for which streaming data is a major requirement.

The survey found that companies processing data in real-time for AI/ML use cases jumped from 6 percent from 2017 to 33 percent in 2019 — a more than five-fold increase. IoT experienced a three-fold increase in real-time data processing as another key use case driving streaming adoption. Get the report here.
