Azure Stream Analytics is a serverless, scale-out job service built to help customers easily develop and run massively parallel real-time analytics across multiple streams of data using simple SQL like language. For example, a recent case study demonstrates how SkyAlert leveraged Azure Stream Analytics in conjunction with other Azure services to build an early-warning system that alerts citizens about an impending earthquake up to 2 minutes before it is felt, that could potentially save many precious lives in case of a natural disaster.
