Lambda architecture

Lambda architecture is a way of using computers to store and process data. It combines both 'batch' and 'stream' processing in one system so that data can be processed and updated as quickly as possible. Batch processing is like making a big pot of soup and delivering it to a bunch of hungry people at once. Stream processing is like delivering pieces of the soup one at a time as it's made. Lambda architecture uses a combination of both of these so that data can be processed quickly and efficiently.
