The e-commerce industry requires stream processing capabilities that can handle massive volumes of real-time data from user interactions, inventory systems, payment gateways, and marketing channels. The system must provide instant product recommendations, real-time pricing adjustments, fraud detection, and seamless integration with various platforms such as content management systems (CMS), customer relationship management (CRM) tools, and fulfillment systems.
Implementing real-time data processing in e-commerce presents several technical challenges. These include processing high-velocity data from millions of concurrent user sessions, ensuring low-latency responses for time-sensitive operations like checkout and inventory updates, maintaining data consistency across distributed systems, and scaling to handle traffic spikes during sales events or holidays. The solution must also ensure data privacy and security, comply with regulations like GDPR, and integrate with a diverse ecosystem of third-party services and APIs.
