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 the full theory behind creating an effectiveworking speed layer. It also touches the CAP theorem problem
and gives a valuable information about challenges of
incremental computation.
In the 1st part the author presents a brief summary of the article.
Part 2 contains information about common properties of
computing for the realtime view.
Part 3 centers around basic principles of storing the data for the
realtime view.
In the 4th part the author offers the solution for incremental
computation problems.
The author gives detailed information about CAP theorem
applicability for using in speed layer computation in the part 5.
Part 6 centers around four main requirements for the speed layer
database.
Part 7 contains a comparison of the speed layer solution with
another types of solutions.
To sum up authors aggregates fundamental concepts of the
speed layer computation in the Lambda Architecture. The results
of study suggest that system created by using speed layer
computation is very different from the batch and serving layer
computation, but despite that fact, that speed layer computation
demand more complex incremental algorithms, you still can
keep the speed layer small and manageable.
