After trying all options existing on the market — from messaging systems to ETLtools — in-house data engineers decided to design a totally new solution for metrics monitoring and user activity tracking which would handle billions of messages a day. cloud data warehouses — for example, Snowflake , Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift.
These requirements are typically met by ETLtools, like Informatica, that include their own transform engines to “do the work” of cleaning, normalizing, and integrating the data as it is loaded into the data warehouse schema. Orchestration tools like Airflow are required to manage the flow across tools.
Cloud: Technology advancements, information security threats, faster internet speeds, and a push to prevent data loss have contributed to the move toward cloud-native storage and processing. The AWS Glue Data Catalog automatically loads your data and the associated metadata.
From the Airflow side A client has 100 data pipelines running via a cron job in a GCP (Google Cloud Platform) virtual machine, every day at 8am. In a Google CloudStorage bucket. It was simple to set up, but then the conversation started flowing: “Where am I going to put logs?” Where can I view history in a table format?”
But with modern cloudstorage solutions and clever techniques like log compaction (where obsolete entries are removed), this is becoming less and less of an issue. The benefits of log-based approaches often far outweigh the storage costs. But with the right tools and processes, these challenges are manageable.
") Apache Airflow , for example, is not an ETLtool per se but it helps to organize our ETL pipelines into a nice visualization of dependency graphs (DAGs) to describe the relationships between tasks. Typical Airflow architecture includes a schduler based on metadata, executors, workers and tasks. Image by author.
Publish: Transformed data is then published either back to on-premises sources like SQL Server or kept in cloudstorage. This makes the data ready for consumption by BI tools, analytics applications, or other systems. It’s like a central hub that orchestrates how your data flows across your cloud environment.
