'Pull' and 'push' make even less sense than 'stream' and 'batch.'

In the old days batch was not realtime and took a while. Imagine printing bank statements, or calculating interest on your accounts at the end of the day. You literally process them all later.

Streaming is processing the records as they arrive, continuously.

IRL you can stream then batch...but normally batch runs at a specific time and chows everything.
