In this post, the author discusses the limitations and challenges of the Lambda Architecture, a popular data processing architecture for handling big data. The Lambda Architecture combines batch and real-time processing to achieve scalability and fault-tolerance. The author raises questions about the complexity, operational overhead, and maintenance challenges associated with implementing and maintaining a Lambda Architecture. They also explore alternative architectures, such as the Kappa Architecture, which simplifies the system by relying only on stream processing. Overall, the post encourages readers to critically evaluate the Lambda Architecture and consider alternative approaches to big data processing.
