Stateful Entities: Object-oriented Cloud Applications as Distributed Dataflows
Summary: Compiler+IR that translates imperative, transactional object‑oriented cloud apps into distributed functional dataflow graphs to provide exactly‑once message processing on existing dataflow engines without exposing dataflow APIs. Prototype (Stateful Entities) runs on dataflow runtimes with sub‑50ms latencies, showing dataflow as a practical low‑level IR to keep imperative programming while inheriting streaming/batch exactly‑once guarantees.
