Storm is used for real-time event processing, fraud detection, and IoT telemetry pipelines where data must be processed and acted upon within milliseconds. While Kafka Streams and Flink have largely superseded Storm in new builds, it remains in production at organisations processing high-velocity event streams.
Python data engineers use `confluent-kafka-python` or `kafka-python` to produce events to topics and consume them in real-time. A common pattern is a Faust or plain consumer loop that reads messages, transforms them with pandas or Pydantic, and writes results to a database or another topic. Kafka is the backbone of event-driven data architectures in Python shops.
