Architectural Patterns

Lambda architecture pattern

To address big data challenges (described earlier in this chapter), there needs to be a data processing architecture to handle massive quantities of data to process rapidly with batch processing and stream processing methods.

Some fundamental characteristics of the Lambda architecture are as follows:

• It is dependent on underlying data principles of append-only, immutable, and atomic
• It thrives on balancing latency, throughput, and fault-tolerance
• It correlates with the growth of big data and real-time analytics
• It helps to mitigate the latencies of MapReduce
