  • Patent number: 11921691
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a series of writes that each requests respective data to be stored at a database. For each respective write, the method includes storing the respective data in a first buffer associated with a first data streaming application and a second buffer associated with a second data streaming application. The method includes transmitting the respective data to the database. The method includes receiving, from the database, confirmation that the respective data of the respective write has been committed to the database. The confirmation includes an order indicator indicating an order the respective data of the respective write was committed to the database relative to other writes in the series of writes. In response to receiving the confirmation, the method includes sending the respective data from the first buffer to the first data streaming application and from the second buffer to the second data streaming application.
