Big Data Analytics Platform
Case study: Enterprise data lake processing 300TB+ daily with Kafka, Spark, and Delta Lake. Real-time analytics and ML pipelines with 99.9% reliability.

Project Overview
Our client was struggling with a fragmented data infrastructure. Data was siloed across multiple systems, analytics were slow and inconsistent, and the existing infrastructure couldn’t scale to meet growing data volumes.
We designed and built a modern data lake platform that unified data across the organization while enabling real-time analytics and machine learning at scale.
Architecture Highlights
The platform was built on modern data engineering principles:
- Streaming Layer: Apache Kafka for real-time data ingestion and event streaming
- Processing Layer: Apache Spark for batch and streaming data processing
- Storage Layer: Delta Lake on S3 for reliable, ACID-compliant data storage
- Orchestration: Apache Airflow for workflow management and scheduling
- Analytics: Self-service analytics platform with SQL and notebook interfaces
Operational Excellence
The platform was designed for operational excellence from day one:
- Automated data quality monitoring and alerting
- Comprehensive observability with metrics, logs, and traces
- Self-healing capabilities for common failure scenarios
- Disaster recovery with cross-region replication
!Challenges
- Processing massive data volumes in real-time
