Editing Batch processing (section)

==Common batch processing usage==
* Efficient bulk database updates and automated [[transaction processing]], as contrasted to interactive [[online transaction processing]] (OLTP) applications. The [[extract, transform, load]] (ETL) step in populating [[data warehouses]] is inherently a batch process in most implementations.
* Performing bulk operations on [[digital image]]s such as resizing, conversion, watermarking, or otherwise editing a group of image files.
* Converting computer files from one format to another. For example, a batch job may convert proprietary and legacy files to common standard formats for end-user queries and display.
* Training [[Machine learning|Machine Learning]] models. For example, an [[e-commerce]] website might want to process customer transactions in a hourly batch to update the model that produces related [[product recommendations]], in order to save [[Computational resource|computational resources]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gutkovich |first=Ben |date=10 February 2023 |title=Why Real-Time Machine Learning will be the Buzzword of 2023 |url=https://superlinked.com/insights/why-real-time-machine-learning-will-be-the-buzzword-of-2023 |access-date=11 April 2023 |website=Superlinked}}</ref>
