Kappa Architecture: Streaming-First Data Pipelines
TLDR: Kappa architecture replaces Lambda's batch + speed dual codebases with a single streaming pipeline backed by a replayable Kafka log. Reprocessing becomes replaying from offset 0. One codebase, no drift. TLDR: Kappa is the right call when your t...
Stream Processing Pipeline Pattern: Stateful Real-Time Data Products
TLDR: Stream pipelines succeed when event-time semantics, state management, and replay strategy are designed together — and Kafka Streams lets you build all three directly inside your Spring Boot service. Stripe's real-time fraud detection processes...
Lambda Architecture Pattern: Balancing Batch Accuracy with Streaming Freshness
TLDR: Lambda architecture is justified when replay correctness and sub-minute freshness are both non-negotiable despite dual-path complexity. TLDR: Lambda architecture is a fit only when you need both low-latency views and deterministic recompute fro...
