Big Data Architecture : Understanding the Lambda Architecture with Detailed Explanation

There are a lot of different tools for handling massive amounts of data: for Storage, Analysis or Dissemination, for example. But how to put these different tools together to build an architecture that can Scale, be Fault-tolerant and Easily extensible, all without blowing up the costs ?

In this article, I’ll introduce you to a very popular architecture model that can be applied to almost any situation requiring massive data. It’s called Lambda Architecture.
