I think there’s a huge unacknowledged gap in the database industry for good streaming products.
If we are building a report or dashboard that we pull up a few times a day then a pull based model where we query the database on page load is fine.
For almost anything else such as an app, a microservice, an alerting system, a web page, a dashboard, we want to be able to update it in near real time for the user experience. Receiving a stream of query results is by far the easiest way to do this.
Polling is obviously a poor interim solution.
I think streaming will be a huge story in data over the next decade. The products are coming through now which is a start.
