Hybrid transactional/analytical processing

Hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP) is a term created by Gartner Inc., an information technology research and advisory company, in its early 2014 research report Hybrid Transaction/Analytical Processing Will Foster Opportunities for Dramatic Business Innovation.[1] As defined by Gartner:

Hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP) is an emerging application architecture that "breaks the wall" between transaction processing and analytics. It enables more informed and "in business real time" decision making.[2][1]

In more recent reports Gartner has begun referring to HTAP as "augmented transactions."[3] Another analyst firm Forrester Research calls the same concept "Translytical"[4] while 451 Group calls it "Hybrid operational and analytical processing" or HOAP.[5]
