Apache Spark™ - Lightning-Fast Cluster Computing. Standalone CEP is Dead-Long Live the Database. In days of old, when CEP didn’t exist, and we called it ESP, or Event Stream Processing, the whole value proposition that most vendors in the space espoused was, “We don’t have to write stuff to the database to process it.
And that makes us really fast!” Complex event processing (CEP) Discussion of complex event processing (CEP), aka event processing or stream processing – i.e., of technology that executes queries before data is ever stored on disk.

BloomSky's backyard weather stations hope to crowdsource the forecast. Anyone who’s spent much time in San Francisco quickly learns the limitations of typical weather-forecasting apps: “Today’s high 68 degrees” they’ll say, and in return you’ll scoff “Where?!”
Because of the city’s hilly topography, water on three sides, and the movements of its famous fog, temperatures can vary widely depending on what part of the city you’re in. You could leave your house near foggy Ocean Beach bundled in a jacket and scarf against temps in the mid–50s, then step off the train downtown where it’s 70 and sunny.

On March 1, 2012, Apple (AAPL) promoted the company’s mobile game Big Win Soccer on its App Store—great news, except that Hothead wasn’t prepared for the massive influx of visitors that followed. Within six hours, traffic to Hothead’s servers spiked a hundredfold, says co-founder and director of technology Joel DeYoung. The company’s software couldn’t manage all the data from the crush of users quickly enough. Players experienced sustained game delays. As Hothead’s user base ballooned from the tens of thousands into the millions, “it was like we were in the kiddie end of the pool, and we were thrown into the deep end,” DeYoung says.

Complex event processing. Event processing is a method of tracking and analyzing (processing) streams of information (data) about things that happen (events),[1] and deriving a conclusion from them. Complex event processing, or CEP, consists of a set of concepts and techniques developed in the early 1990s for processing real-time events and extracting information from event streams as they arrive. The goal of complex event processing is to identify meaningful events (such as opportunities or threats)[2] in real-time situations and respond to them as quickly as possible. These events may be happening across the various layers of an organization as sales leads, orders or customer service calls. Or, they may be news items,[3] text messages, social media posts, stock market feeds, traffic reports, weather reports, or other kinds of data.[1] An event may also be defined as a "change of state," when a measurement exceeds a predefined threshold of time, temperature, or other value.
Conceptual description[edit] Big Data Stream Processors. Stream Processing + IoT + Enterprise Data Lake - zData Inc. The value of the Internet of Things (IoT) comes from the volume of data it will produce. Gartner, predicts that the Internet of things and personal computing will unearth more than $1.9 trillion in revenue before 2020; Cisco thinks there will be upwards of 50 billion connected devices by the same date; IDC estimates technology and services revenue will grow worldwide to $7.3 trillion by 2017 (up from $4.8 trillion in 2012). With the explosion of the IoT and the mass amounts of data that will be collected, getting the data processed will be key – which makes stream processing essential. AggData.
