A robust real-time event streaming platform includes:

• Event Producers: Systems or applications that emit events (e.g., Snowplow trackers, IoT devices).
• Stream Processors: Tools that consume and analyze event streams in real time (e.g., Apache Flink, Spark, AWS Lambda).
• Message Brokers: Middleware that manages and delivers event streams (e.g., Apache Kafka, AWS Kinesis).‍
• Event Consumers: Downstream systems such as data warehouses, ML models, alerting tools, or analytics dashboards.

Together, these components form the backbone of a responsive, real-time data ecosystem that powers modern AI and analytics applications.
