# KAPPA ARCHITECTURE

1\) <http://milinda.pathirage.org/kappa-architecture.com/>

Kappa Architecture is a simplification of [Lambda Architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_architecture). A Kappa Architecture system is like a Lambda Architecture system with the **batch processing system removed**. To replace batch processing, data is simply fed through the streaming system quickly.

&#x20;Kappa Architecture revolutionizes database migrations and reorganizations: just delete your serving layer database and populate a new copy from the canonical store! **Since there is no batch processing layer, only one set of code needs to be maintained.**

Kafka is a streaming platform purposefully designed for kappa, which supports time-to-live (TTL) of indefinite time periods
