Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) integrates online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) to enable analytics on real-time transactional data. This approach, coined by Gartner in 2014, aims to reduce data latency and the need for extensive ETL processes by allowing analytical queries to access current operational data directly. Architectures vary, with converged HTAP using a single engine and composed HTAP employing separate, integrated engines, each presenting different trade-offs in performance, consistency, and freshness.
