Intermediary system for data streams

Abstract

A computer-implemented method include sending a first cycle of received event data to an external system for processing and while waiting for the external system to confirm that processing of the first cycle of received event data has been completed, receiving a stream of additional event data for processing and assigning some of the additional event data to a second cycle of received event data, wherein the second cycle has a scheduled transmission time to be sent to the external system for processing. The second cycle of received event data is prevented from being sent to the external system when the scheduled transmission time arrives because the external system has not returned confirmation that processing has been completed for the first cycle.
