The Lambda Architecture aims to satisfy the needs for a robust system that is fault-tolerant, both against hardware failures and human mistakes, being able to serve a wide range of workloads and use cases, and in which low-latency reads and updates are required. The resulting system should be linearly scalable, and it should scale out rather than up.
- All data entering the system is dispatched to both the batch layer and the speed layer for processing.
- The batch layer has two functions: (i) managing the master dataset (an immutable, append-only set of raw data), and (ii) to pre-compute the batch views.
- The serving layer indexes the batch views so that they can be queried in low-latency, ad-hoc way.
- The speed layer compensates for the high latency of updates to the serving layer and deals with recent data only.
- Any incoming query can be answered by merging results from batch views and real-time views.
