So, in my learnings and conversations with people over the past week, I’ve just discovered this concept of Complex Event Processing. It’s a fascinating subject — taking a fast moving data stream and performing analysis of it in real time. I’m looking at a (PowerPoint alert!) presentation that say they achieve a 1msec lag in some cases using an on-the-fly db with SQL-like syntax.
This is truly fascinating business. Anyone out there in blogland into this CEP stuff. Tell me all about it, educate me.
