Real-time data integration typically involves several steps:
1. Data Collection: Data is collected from various sources such as databases, IoT devices, social media, and transactional systems. 2. Data Processing: Collected data is processed using technologies like stream processing to ensure it is cleaned, transformed, and enriched as necessary. 3. Data Delivery: Processed data is then delivered to business applications such as analytics platforms, dashboards, and operational systems in real-time.
