Disadvantages of Lambda Architectures
Choosing a Lambda Architecture to develop a Data Lake for your enterprise does incur some inherent disadvantages if some of its aspects are not fully thought through. Some of these are as follows:
- Due to its different layers, it is generally considered to be complex. Keeping sync between these two layers incurs cost and effort, and this has to be thought through and handled.
- Because of these two distinct and fully distributed layers (batch and speed), maintenance and support activities are quite hard.
- There are a good number of technologies that have to be mastered to construct a Lambda-Architecture-driven Data Lake. Getting people who have expertise in these technologies can be troublesome for your recruitment division.
- Implementing a Lambda Architecture with open sources technologies and then deploying in the cloud can be troublesome. To avoid this, you could very well use cloud technologies to implement Lambda Architecture, but by doing so, the enterprise...
