 - Exactly-Once semantics: No input element is duplicated or lost even as pods are rescheduled or restarted.
 - Auto-scaling with back-pressure: Each vertex automatically scales from zero to whatever is needed.

+## Data Integrity Guarantees:
+- Minimally provide at-least-once semantics
+- Provide exactly-once semantics for unbounded and near real-time data sources 
+- Preserving order is not required

 ## Roadmap
 
 - Data aggregation (e.g. group-by)
