We call this *cross-platform data processing*. In Wayang, users can specify any data processing application using one of Wayang's APIs and then Wayang will choose the data processing platform(s), e.g., Postgres or Apache Spark, that best fits the application. Finally, Wayang will perform the execution, thereby hiding the different platform-specific APIs and coordinating inter-platform communication. +In contrast to traditional data processing systems that provide one dedicated execution engine, Apache Wayang can transparently and seamlessly integrate multiple execution engines and use them to perform a single task.
