The article under consideration is taken from book called book

Big Data Principles and Best Practices of Scalable Realtime

Data Systems written by Nathan Marz.
The article presents a brief introduction to landscape of currently
available database scalability approaches and Big Data system
creation tools.
In the 1st part the author presents a brief summary of the article.
In the 2 part the author makes a close study of traditional
method of database scaling.
Part 3 contains information about main principles of scaling
with a traditional databases.
Part 4 centers around issues with scaling by sharding database.
The author gives detailed information about Big Data systems
from first principles in the part 5.
Part 6 centers around four main requirements for the speed layer
database.
Part 7 contains desired properties of a Big data system and
Lambda Architecture.
The results of study suggest that system designed by using
Lambda Architecture is more efficient than traditional databases.
So, to sum up, it could be saying that if you create Big Data
system with some useful properties, it could much easier to
work with in the future.
