holistic approach ensures that stakeholders at all levels gain valuable insights to
support decision-making, operational efficiency, and future planning.

9. Data Flow and Processing Philosophy

It's not enough to have the best messaging solution at the heart of your end-to-end
streaming architecture. Through supporting our customers on their data journeys, we
have learned that flow management, stream processing, and analytics need to be
unified with streams messaging capabilities. These three tenets, if properly integrated,
will ensure a sustainable, scalable, and adaptable end-to-end streaming architecture.
Like a three-legged stool, one weak tenet can make the entire structure fall short.

This solution brief describes our data-in-motion philosophy and serves as a blueprint to
help business and technology decision-makers evaluate and simplify their approach to
streaming data across their enterprise.
