real-time data
Current streaming facts
Real-time data is information that is delivered, processed, or available immediately or nearly immediately after it is generated.
Unlike data that is collected and analyzed in batches hours or days later, real-time data streams continuously and reflects current conditions: The app shows real-time data on traffic congestion.
Stock tickers, flight tracking, and live sports scores all rely on real-time data.
The term is common in computing, finance, and logistics, where decisions depend on the most current information available.
