How to design efficient data ingestion process?

Massive data ingestion aims to collect and import large volumes of data from various sources into storage or processing systems for further analysis and utilization. At C&F, we specialize in data ingestion across many different sources, among other databases (SQL and NO-SQL), logs, device sensors, IoT devices, external system APIs, and multiple file formats. Given this experience, we have developed a list of building blocks essential for our clients to build data ingestion pipelines. Cloud services, open source frameworks, and data science supporting language services running in containerized scalable environments are the foundation for solutions that provide our clients with the best price/performance ratio. Next to data processing performance, our data engineering team applies validation, transformation, and catalog solutions so that ingested data becomes an asset ready to derive value from.

Flexible and scalable processing

Cloud based containerized environments are easy to scale and support multiple workloads. Resource consumption can be controlled at multiple levels and allocated to specific business units.

Good price-performance ratio

Thanks to this feature of cloud solutions data ingestion may adopt to changing processing requirements while respecting resource usage quotas.

Data observability benefits

Data observability is about understanding the health of data and its state across data ecosystem. It includes a variety of activities that go beyond traditional monitoring, which only describes a problem. Data observability can help identify, troubleshoot and resolve data issues in near-real time.

Support for multiple analytics use cases

Cloud storage in column-based file formats allow for multiple data analytics applications. It provides fast query performance and efficient data retrieval, making it well-suited for data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, machine learning, IoT data processing, and ad hoc querying.

Coping with massive data ingestions demands robust infrastructure and strategic alignment with evolving implementation trends and technology standards. Embracing real-time processing, cloud-native architectures, and scalable computation frameworks enables organizations to collect vast amounts of data and create actionable insights. When it comes to massive data ingestion, success lies in well-designed orchestration of data flows.

Overview

With incoming data coming from numerous sources at different speeds and formats, a robust data ingestion framework is needed to help organizations manage this data. We can support this process by building a data ingestion pipeline that collects massive amounts of data from various sources and imports it into storage, such as a data warehouse or data lake. Our data engineers then harness various data ingestion tools to validate, transform, and catalog this data to improve data quality and prepare it for analytics. Whether you’re using data lakes or data warehouses to ingest data, our solutions will empower you to extract value from raw data while supporting multiple analytics use cases.
