System architecture diagram of Lambda architecture showing data splitting into a batch layer and a speed layer, then joining in a unified serving layer.

What it shows

  • Batch layer processes the master dataset to compute complete accuracy.
  • Speed layer processes recent streaming delta events with low latency.
  • Serving layer merges real-time views and precomputed batch views on query.

The takeaway

Lambda guarantees accuracy via batch recomputation while covering latency gaps with streaming.
