Applied lambda
Enterprise-level Data Lake is one of the applications of the Lambda Architecture pattern. In this book, we are going to cover this in more detail. However, there are other use cases where this pattern can be applied and this section tries to cover these.
Enterprise-level log analysis
One of the very common use cases for this pattern is log ingestion and various analytics that surround it. The ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack is a leading one in this space, but this pattern could very well be used.

If we need to have an enterprise level log management and analytical capability this pattern is indeed a good choice. These logs are produced in large quantities and at very high velocity. Also these are immutable in nature and does need to have an order in place for analyst (may be a developer of an application or a security data scientists...
