Some of the common types of Data Processing are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"batch-processing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Batch_Processing\"><\/span><strong>Batch Processing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of data processing involves processing large volumes of data in batches. Data collected over a long period of time are processed together as a batch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/what-is\/batch-processing\/#:~:text=Batch%20processing%20is%20the%20method,run%20on%20individual%20data%20transactions.\" rel=\"nofollow\">Batch processing<\/a> is typically useful for non-real-time or offline cases where the need for instant results is not important. The technique is often used for tasks such as data cleaning, aggregation, reporting, and generating reports in batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"real-time-processing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real-Time_Processing\"><\/span><strong>Real-Time Processing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of immediate data processing focuses on data that arrives immediately and involves handling and analysing data in real-time. It helps organisations receive instant results and is commonly used in applications where prompt decisions are to be made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, these decisions are made on incoming data such as fraud detection, stock market analysis or real-time monitoring systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"online-processing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Processing\"><\/span><strong>Online Processing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of data processing involves managing transactional data in real time and focuses on handling individual transactions.
