Buffering

Buffering refers to the ability to store the records somewhere, and while they are processed and delivered, still be able to store more. Buffering in memory is the fastest mechanism, but there are certain scenarios where the mechanism requires special strategies to deal with , data safety or reduce memory consumption by the service in constraint environments.

Our buffering strategies are designed to solve problems associated with backpressure and general delivery failures. {% endhint %}

Both mechanisms are not exclusive and when the data is ready to be processed or delivered it will be always in memory, while other data in the queue might be in the file system until is ready to be processed and moved up to memory.
