Services · Real-time Data Engineering
We build streaming pipelines, data lakehouses, and transformation layers that deliver accurate, fresh data to every consumer — analysts, APIs, and AI models alike.
Architecture
Unified batch and streaming on a modern lakehouse — events ingested through Kafka, processed by Flink, landed in Iceberg, transformed by dbt, and served through Snowflake to every downstream consumer.
Our Approach
Confluent Schema Registry + Avro/Protobuf contracts prevent producers breaking consumers. Breaking changes require a migration — not a hotfix at 2am.
Bronze (raw) → Silver (cleansed) → Gold (business-ready). dbt models version-controlled, tested on every PR, and documented in a DataHub catalog.
Flink transactional sinks with two-phase commit to Iceberg. No double-counting in your revenue metrics after a pod restart.
Great Expectations or Soda checks wired into every pipeline stage. Anomalies alert before bad data reaches dashboards or model training.
What We Solved
Network events, billing events, and CDRs flowing through three separate legacy systems — no unified schema, data 4–6 hours stale, SLA breaches invisible until customer complaints.
Confluent Cloud Kafka with Avro schemas, Flink SQL jobs for real-time SLA computation, and Iceberg sinks to S3. Single data platform replacing three legacy ETL systems.
A Teradata-based DWH with 12-year-old star schemas required 48-hour data loads. Analysts waited until Wednesday for Monday's data. ML team had no feature store.
Iceberg on S3 with Spark for historical backfill, Flink for ongoing CDC ingestion, dbt for transformation, Snowflake as the serving layer. DataHub for lineage and catalog.
Customer purchase, browse, loyalty, and CRM data lived in 8 separate systems. Personalization engine ran on week-old data — promotional recommendations were frequently irrelevant.
Debezium CDC from all 8 databases into Kafka, Flink event-join to build unified customer profiles in Apache Pinot for real-time lookup, Snowflake for analytics.
