Apache Storm

Distributed real-time computation system

About Apache Storm

A distributed real-time computation system for processing fast, large streams of data, used for real-time analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation and distributed RPC. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
