Whitepaper: The Developer Guide to Streaming Data Applications
Successfully writing applications to manage fast streams of data generated by mobile, smart devices, social interactions, and the Internet is development’s next big challenge. This VoltDB white paper explores three different approaches – fast online transaction processing (OLTP) solutions; streaming solutions, e.g. complex event processing (CEP) systems and newer open-source tools; and fast online analytical processing (OLAP) solutions, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the three contenders’ underlying architectures and providing guidance in the selection of an approach to solving the fast data challenge.
