 ABSTRACT
“ Analysis” literally means a detailed examination of the elements or structure of something. In
a nutshell, Data Analytics is the process of analyzing data from the past in order to make appropriate
decisions in the future by utilizing valuable insights. Data Analysis, on the other hand, aids in
understanding the data and provides necessary insights from the past to comprehend what has occurred
so far. So, Data Analysis is an umbrella term that encompasses Data Analytics in its subset.
The adjective real-time refers to a level of computer responsiveness that a user senses as immediate
or nearly immediate. The term is often associated with streaming data architectures and real-
time operational decisions that can be made automatically through robotic process automation and policy
enforcement.
Real-time data analysis is becoming increasingly crucial in various domains such as finance, healthcare,
transportation, and social media. This research project aims to explore the methodologies, technologies,
and challenges associated with real-time data analysis. By examining existing literature, conducting
empirical studies, and developing practical implementations, this project intends to contribute to the
advancement of real-time data analysis techniques. The roadmap outlined in this proposal will guide the
research work, including literature review, methodology selection, data collection, analysis, and
dissemination of findings.

 Introduction
The ability for users to see, analyze, and
evaluate data as soon as it appears in a
system is defined as Real-Time Data
Analysis. Logic, mathematics, and
algorithms are used to provide users with
insights rather than raw data. The end
result is a visually appealing and easy-to-
understand dashboard and/or report. It is all
about capturing and acting on information
as it occurs – or as close to it as possible.
This involves streaming data from cameras
or sensors, as well as sales
