Big Data Architecture Patterns

Key Patterns

This section explores common architectural patterns used in big data systems. Understanding these patterns is crucial for designing scalable and reliable solutions.

Here are some key patterns:

Big Data Patterns - Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the patterns used. The specific choice depends on the application and its requirements.

We'll focus on the core principles and common implementations.

Pattern: Layered Data Storage

This approach utilizes distinct layers for data access and management, improving scalability and maintainability. Different layers handle data formats and processing needs.
