Why Choose Infoservices

  • The current state architecture and design did not support streaming and processing real-time data.
  • Execution challenges included lack of understanding the need, data availability, scalable architecture, and tools to operationalize the insights engine in real-time with high availability.

Technologies Used

It removes heavy lifting and complexity, and enables to achieve greater cost-efficiency than any other cloud provider.

Partner solutions

  • The Info Services team architected the solution by utilizing the best practices and came up with a framework that was scalable, sustainable and performance efficient.
  • An ingestion framework was built that collected ad sense data from the ad provider and stored it in S3 bucket.
  • When new files are pushed, S3 events notifications are pushed via SNS and SQS, which then are filtered and stored as delta lake tables pointing to another S3 location. Using delta lake tables, companion delta tables (supporting ad sense files), and snowflake tables are combined to form the final target table.
  • This data is exposed to data science, analyst, and business intelligence teams for rapid consumption in real-time.
