continuous stream

Steady ongoing flow

A continuous stream is an unbroken flow of something—water, data, people, or words.

The phrase emphasizes that the flow doesn't stop or pause: a continuous stream of customers, a continuous stream of consciousness.

In computing, continuous streaming delivers media data steadily rather than in discrete downloads.
