The primary use case of this solution is for streaming data. It can stream large amounts of data in small data chunks which are used for Databricks data. I've been using the solution for personal research purposes only and not for business applications. I'm a customer of Apache.

I've used it more for ETL. It's useful for creating data pipelines, streaming datasets, generating synthetic data, synchronizing data, creating data lakes, and loading and unloading data is fast and easy. 

In my ETL work, I often move data from multiple sources into a data lake. Apache Spark is very helpful for tracking the latest data delivery and automatically streaming it to the target database.
