## What it is
Apache Storm (originally nathanmarz/storm) is a distributed, fault-tolerant realtime computation system for stream processing, continuous computation, and distributed RPC. This original GitHub repository has moved to Apache and now only serves as a mirror pointer to apache/incubator-storm.

## Use cases
- process streaming data in realtime across a cluster
- run continuous computations on unbounded data streams
- build fault-tolerant realtime analytics pipelines
- perform distributed RPC for low-latency queries
- ingest and transform high-throughput event streams
- replace Hadoop batch jobs with realtime processing

## When to choose
- you need mature, battle-tested distributed stream processing on the JVM
- you want fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable realtime computation
- you need distributed RPC with low-latency responses over live data

## When to avoid
- you want the actively developed version - use apache/storm instead of this mirror
- you need modern stream processing with exactly-once semantics - consider Flink, Kafka Streams, or Spark Streaming
- your project is not JVM-based and you lack Java/Scala expertise

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: streaming, message-queue, rpc, microservices
- domain: big-data, microservices
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: stream-processing, realtime-computation, distributed-rpc, fault-tolerance, apache-storm, topologies, spouts, bolts, data-engineering, real-time, linux, docker
