Real-time data processing FAQs

How does Qlik handle late-arriving events in streams?

We support configurable watermarking and allowed lateness policies that handle out-of-order events while maintaining result accuracy, with options to trigger reprocessing when late data significantly impacts outcomes.

Can real-time processing integrate with batch systems?

Yes, we support lambda and kappa architectures that combine real-time stream processing with batch processing, enabling hybrid approaches that balance latency requirements with processing complexity.

What happens if processing falls behind the data rate?

The platform includes backpressure handling, auto-scaling, and priority queuing that prevent overwhelming downstream systems while maintaining data integrity and providing visibility into processing lag.

How do you ensure exactly-once processing semantics?

We implement distributed transactions, idempotent operations, and checkpoint coordination so each event is processed exactly once even in the presence of failures and retries.
