What is Batch Processing? (Real-World Example + Why it Matters)

In this video, we will explain batch processing in a clear and simple way, using a real-world example that everyone can understand. We'll show you how batch processing works, why it's relevant to Kafka, and why understanding it is essential for anyone getting started with data engineering and distributed message queues.

Topics Covered:
What is batch processing and how does it work?
Why is batch processing important for data engineering projects?
How does batch processing relate to Apache Kafka?
Can you explain batch processing with a real-world example?
What are the tools typically involved in batch processing pipelines? (Database, ETL, Analytics)
What is the difference between batch and real-time data processing?

We'll walk through a simple example of credit card transactions at a major bank to illustrate how batch processing is used to analyze millions of transactions over time. You'll see how data is collected, stored, and processed in batches, and why this is a critical concept for anyone working with data.

This video is perfect for beginners who want to understand the fundamentals of data processing and how Kafka fits into the bigger picture.
