Kappa Architecture

A simplification of Lambda architecture that treats all data as a stream and reprocesses history by replaying the log.

Definition

Kappa uses a single streaming pipeline and a durable, replayable log such as Kafka. Reprocessing means replaying events through new code.

Exam tip

One code path through a replayable log = Kappa.
