Leverage the Power of Lakehouse Architecture

Unify your data warehousing and big data needs with a modern Lakehouse solution, enabling seamless data integration, advanced analytics, and cost-efficient scalability. By combining the best of data lakes and warehouses, Lakehouse architecture ensures high-performance querying, real-time processing, and reliable data governance. Empower your organization to harness insights faster while maintaining flexibility for future growth.

Our Data Lakehouse
Implementation Approach

Project Initiation and Planning

Define Objectives

  • Understand the business goals (e.g., analytics, AI/ML, operational reporting).
  • Identify key stakeholders and users

Define Scope

  • Decide which datasets and systems to include initially
  • Plan for scalability and future integrations.

Assess Current State

  • Audit the existing data infrastructure, sources,
    and tools.
  • Identify key stakeholders and users

Select Technology Stack

  • Choose the lakehouse platform (intellectual property tools or open stack)
  • Determine supporting tools for ingestion, processing, storage, and analytics

Architecture and Design

Design Data Lakehouse Architecture

  • Create a unified architecture blending data lake and warehouse features.
  • Incorporate layers for raw data ingestion, curated datasets, and analytics-ready data.

Design Data Models

  • Use a schema-on-read approach for raw data
  • Define structured schema for curated and analytics-ready layers

Plan Data Governance

  • Define data cataloging, lineage tracking, and access controls.
  • Set compliance and regulatory standards 
(e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Define Security Framework

  • Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and encryption
  • Plan for network and storage security.

Data Ingestion

Identify Data Sources

  • List structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources (e.g., databases, APIs, IoT devices).

Ensure Data Quality

  • Define Security Framework
    Use tools for deduplication, validation, and transformation.
    Plan for network and storage security.

Build Pipelines

  • Implement batch and real-time data ingestion pipelines using tools like Apache Kafka, Flume, or cloud-native services.

Data Processing and Transformation

Develop ETL/ELT Workflows

  • Use frameworks like Apache Spark, dbt, or cloud services.
  • Implement transformations to prepare data for specific use cases.

Automate Processes

  • Schedule and orchestrate workflows using tools like Apache Airflow

Enrich Data

  • Integrate third-party datasets or contextual information where necessary.

Analytics and Query Enablement

Implement Query Engines

  • Deploy tools like Presto, Trino, or built-in lakehouse querying capabilities.

Develop Dashboards

  • Use BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) for visualization.

Build Analytical Models

  • Enable SQL-based queries and create ML-ready datasets.

Validate Data Accuracy

  • Measure query response times and pipeline throughput.
  • Optimize configurations for performance and cost.

Testing , Validation and Deployment

Functional Testing

  • Test data pipelines, ingestion, transformations, and queries.
    Optimize configurations for performance and cost.

Deploy Lakehouse Solution

  • Move from staging to production environment.

Performance Testing

  • Measure query response times and pipeline throughput.
  • Optimize configurations for performance and cost.

Integrate with Existing Systems

  • Connect the lakehouse with data sources, BI tools, and downstream applications.
  • to handle growing data volumes and new workloads.
