Abstract Real-time data processing enables swift decisions based on continuous data streams and immediate insights from various data sources, modern data architectures now rely mostly on it. The paper reviews two of the most widely known distributed systems for real-time analytics: Apache Spark and Apache Flink, along with their unique challenges and solutions. This study, through extended comparison analysis, underlines the performance of each framework, use case feasibility, scalability, and state management capability. Apache Flink's real streaming design and strong stateful processing capability show to be helpful for low-latency continuous data streaming. It is thus ideal for use cases calling for considerable dependability and accuracy. Supported by a complete ecosystem that readily links with tools for machine learning and large data, Apache Spark's structured streaming offers considerable batch and micro-batch processing capabilities. The discussion includes increasing trends in machine learning integration, edge computing, and multi-cloud installations, apart from future research possibilities that can enhance real-time data processing systems. This paper discusses how to choose the appropriate framework for their demands concerning scalability, data processing, and strategic goals for future scaling.
