Cover Story: The paper dives deep into evaluating two leading frameworks—Apache Spark GraphX and Apache Flink—providing critical insights into their performance, scalability, and applicability across diverse domains like IoT, AI, and blockchain.
Through rigorous benchmarking, this study uncovers the strengths of GraphX in batch processing tasks with in-memory optimization, making it ideal for machine learning and blockchain operations. Conversely, Flink excels in real-time stream processing, demonstrating its suitability for IoT applications that demand low-latency operations. This research not only evaluates computational efficiency but also explores the systems’ decision-making implications, highlighting their role in addressing the evolving needs of modern technology ecosystems.
