Data processing engine FAQs

How does the engine handle processing failures?

Automated checkpoint recovery, retry logic, and error handling ensure processing continues after failures, with detailed logging that enables rapid diagnosis and resolution of issues.

Can the engine process both batch and streaming data?

Yes, unified processing handles both batch and streaming workloads, allowing you to apply consistent transformation logic regardless of whether data arrives in batches or continuous streams.

How does performance scale as data volumes grow?

Distributed processing enables linear scalability by adding compute nodes, with intelligent partitioning and parallel execution that maintains performance as datasets grow from gigabytes to petabytes.

What programming languages does the engine support?

The engine supports SQL for transformations, Python for custom logic, and visual workflow design for no-code development, enabling teams to use skills they already have.
