Transactional streaming: If you can compute it, you can probably stream it

In the race to pair streaming systems with stateful systems, the winners will be stateful systems that process streams natively. These systems remove the burden on application developers to be distributed systems experts and enable new applications to be both powerful and robust. John Hugg describes whats possible when integrated systems apply a transactional approach to event processing.
