Best for

▸Design Kafka Streams topology for real-time user activity aggregation
▸Architect Apache Flink pipeline for fraud detection with 100ms latency SLA
▸Build ClickHouse materialized views for live operational dashboards
▸Implement exactly-once processing for financial transaction streams
▸Design event-time windowing strategy for IoT sensor data aggregation

What you'll get

●Complete Kafka Streams topology diagram with state stores, windowing configuration, and exactly-once settings
●Apache Flink job architecture with watermark strategies, checkpoint configuration, and operator parallelism settings
●End-to-end real-time analytics stack design from event ingestion through dashboard rendering with latency budgets

Not designed for ↓

×Batch ETL pipeline design (use streaming ETL architects instead)
×Static dashboard creation without real-time requirements
×Basic Kafka producer/consumer setup without complex processing
×Traditional data warehouse modeling for analytical reporting

Expects

Specific latency requirements, data volume estimates, correctness guarantees needed, and event schema details.

Returns

Complete stream processing architecture with framework selection, windowing strategy, state management approach, and operational monitoring design.
