Data flow - Process
Batch processing
Processing data together in groups at scheduled or triggered intervals
What's it for?
Processes large amounts of information together at planned times rather than handling each item immediately.
For example…
Payroll calculates everyone’s pay in one run after timesheets close for the period.
A retailer calculates yesterday's sales totals in one overnight batch rather than recalculating the report after every purchase
Think of it like…
Washing a full load of laundry at once instead of rinsing each sock as it hits the floor
