Daily Term: Lambda Architecture

Lambda Architecture

Lambda Architecture is a data processing framework that combines batch and stream processing to handle both historical and real-time data. It has three layers: a batch layer for processing historical data (e.g., Hadoop), a speed layer for real-time data (e.g., Storm), and a serving layer to merge results for querying. Lambda Architecture ensures comprehensive data processing but is complex to maintain due to the dual processing paths.
