Apache Storm is a distributed, open-source real-time computation system designed for processing large streams of data with high reliability. Originally developed by Nathan Marz at BackType and later acquired by Twitter, it allows developers to process data in real-time as it arrives, making it ideal for use cases like online machine learning, continuous computation, and distributed RPC. Storm operates using a model of spouts and bolts; spouts ingest raw data streams, while bolts perform processing logic such as filtering, aggregating, or joining data. It is fault-tolerant and highly scalable, ensuring that each unit of data is processed at least once, even if nodes fail. By providing low-latency performance and horizontal scalability, Storm has become a foundational tool in big data architectures, enabling organizations to gain immediate insights from massive, fast-moving datasets.
