Introduction to CEP
- Former user (Deleted)
Every enterprise's transactions and activities consist of a constant stream of events. Enterprises that monitor these events in real time and quickly respond to their environments have greater business advantage over competitors. Complex event processing is about listening to events and detecting patterns in real-time, without having to store events.
WSO2 Complex Event Processor (CEP) is a lightweight, easy-to-use, open source Complex Event Processing server (CEP) available under Apache Software License v2.0. WSO2 CEP identifies the most meaningful events within the event cloud, analyzes their impact, and acts on them in real-time. It's built to be extremely high performing and massively scalable.
WSO2 CEP is built up on the award-winning, WSO2 Carbon platform, which is based on the OSGi framework enabling better modularity for your service oriented architecture (SOA). WSO2 Carbon framework contains many enhanced features and optional components to customize the behavior of the server through simple, point-and-click provisioning. The CEP can be tightly integrated with WSO2 Business Activity Monitor, by adding support for recording and post processing events with Map-Reduce via Apache Hadoop.
