Databricks benchmark shows Apache Spark Real-Time Mode rivals Flink latency

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Databricks has released a new benchmark comparing Apache Spark's Real-Time Mode against Apache Flink for streaming workloads. The benchmark indicates that Spark Real-Time Mode matches or surpasses Flink in p99 latency for stateless, aggregation, and join tasks. While Flink remains suitable for highly specialized use cases like complex event processing or managing very large keyed states, Databricks suggests Spark is now the more versatile and often faster choice for most teams due to its unified engine capabilities.
