In data-flow programming, you define a set of event streams and the connections between them, and apply operations to the data as it flows from sources to outputs.
Data-flow programming breaks a potentially complex computation into a sequence of operations with data flowing from one operation to the next. This technique also provides scalability and potential parallelization, since each operation is event driven and independently applied. Each operation processes an event only when it is received from another operation. No other coordination is needed between operations.
