Taking data from various sources including files, databases, web services, applying some complex rules, transforming, aggregating and producing a result. This is what Spotfire Streaming does best.
- If one needs connectivity to special services as secured databases or web services, building interactive web apps, those are probably tasks that shall be addressed with different tools.

  • Not all problems are suited to the event driven paradigm.
  • As the complexity of an application grows, finding your way around code in the GUI takes some getting used to.
  • The Spotfire Streaming development environment is built in Eclipse, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

We are using Dataflow (by Google).The development time in Spotfire Streaming is definitely shorter because its GUI based. Dataflow handles late arrivals after the window closes, not sure Spotfire Streaming can do that. Dataflow can run GCP as a managed service which is why we chose that tool for our new product.
