Dears,
I'm looking for a way to get real-time updates using my service, I believe kafka is the way to go but I still have an issue on how to use it. My system gets data from devices using GPRS, I then read this data and analyze it to check what action I should do afterwards. I need the analyzing step to be as fast as possible. I was thinking of two options: The first option is to gather all the data sent from all the devices into one huge topic and then getting all the data from this topic and analyzing it. The downside of this option is that the data analysis step is delaying my work since I was to loop through the topic data, on the other hand the advantage is that I have a manageable number of topics ( only 1 topic). The other option is to divide the data I'm gathering into several small topics by allowing each device to have its own topic, take into consideration that the number of devices is large, I'm talking about more that 5000 devices. The downside of this option is that I have thousands of topics, where the advantage is that each topic will have a manageable amount of data allowing me to get my analysis done in much more reasonable time. Can you advise on what option is better and whether there is a third option that I'm not considering, Best Regards Ola Bissani Developer Manager Easysoft Mobile Lebanon : +961 3 61 16 90 Office Lebanon :+961 1 33 55 15/17 E mail: <mailto:ola.biss...@easysoft.com.lb> ola.biss...@easysoft.com.lb web site:www.easysoft.com.lb "Tailored to Perfection" The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and it may contain proprietary, business-confidential, and/or legally privileged information.
