Data Stream Processing Pipeline

Introduction

This study details a project related to designing a data stream processing pipeline for one of our Clients in moving and storage industry. The objective was to extract, transform, and load data in real-time into data warehouses, replacing the inefficient, batch-based data jobs that relied heavily on outdated legacy systems. The legacy systems had been in place for 25 years and were deemed inefficient due to their limitations in terms of speed, scalability, and dependency. By implementing a modern data stream processing pipeline, the aim was to leverage the benefits of robustness, fault tolerance, and distributed processing.

Problem Statement

• Inefficient system due to their limitations in terms of speed, scalability, and dependency
• No leverage in terms of benefits, robustness, fault tolerance, and distributed processing
• Batched processing data jobs that heavily relied on outdated legacy systems.

‍

Analysis

The existing legacy systems were thoroughly analysed for their limitations , to support the high demands of moving and storage company. The outdated system was found to be inefficient due to the batched processing data jobs which heavily relied on legacy systems.

‍

Implementation

• To support the high demands of the moving and storage industry, the application service was deployed on a cloud platform. This enabled distributed processing and auto-scaling capabilities and ensured efficient handling of workload fluctuations during busy seasons

• By harnessing cutting-edge distributed data storage and distribution platforms, as well as distributed stream processing frameworks, a robust and efficient data delivery application solution was developed.

• Furthermore, a monitoring dashboard was offered that provided insights into the performance of multiple data processing worker applications, along with load and capacity information. This monitoring system facilitated data-driven business decisions and enabled efficient scaling of the platform based on demand.
