The Batch Processing ProblemBatch processing isn't inherently a disadvantage. It becomes a problem when the business needs a decision now, but the architecture was designed to make that information available later.Picture an enterprise system processing millions of customer interactions. Transactions land across multiple systems throughout the day. Every few hours, a scheduled job extracts the data, transforms it, updates another system, and eventually makes it available downstream. This works fine — until the business asks: "Why can't we react to this the moment it happens?"
