datapassthroughs
Datapassthroughs are pathways or mechanisms within a data processing system that forward input data to an output with minimal or no modification. They aim to minimize processing overhead, reduce latency, and preserve the original data format and timing characteristics where possible.
In practice, a datapassthrough may be implemented as a dedicated forwarding path in software data pipelines,
Key considerations for datapassthroughs include delivery guarantees (such as best-effort versus reliable delivery), ordering, backpressure handling,
Datapassthroughs are commonly discussed in the contexts of streaming data platforms, network datapaths, and virtualization I/O
