Producers and Consumers

Producer

Producers are applications that "produce" streaming data. These applications may be monitoring the status of a system, collecting sensor data, watching traffic to a website, or otherwise observing events in some way. Producers may be general-purpose tools such as the Fluvio CLI, or they may be special-purpose programs built to meet a specific need, in which case the producer program would leverage one of the programmatic APIs.

Producer performance in transmitting data can be optimized by adjusting batching parameters. See the Batching page for more details.
