Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Nitro is a revolutionary combination of purpose-built hardware and software designed to provide performance and security. It would have had no way of propagating Nitro across an entire vertical stack of hardware and software services.

The pipelines can be stateful and the engine’s middleware should provide a persistent storage to enable state checkpointing. If the current transaction ID equals to the value persisted in the storage, the node skips the commit because this is a batch replay.
