Our SME utility company seeks to develop a robust, real-time data pipeline to enhance resource management and operational efficiency. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, we aim to optimize data flows from multiple sources, improve decision-making, and ensure seamless integration with existing systems.

📋Project Details

As a mid-sized utility provider in the electric, water, and gas sector, we face the challenge of consolidating data from numerous sources to optimize resource management. The current infrastructure does not support the necessary speed and flexibility required for real-time decision-making. To address this, we are initiating a project to develop a comprehensive data pipeline using Apache Kafka for event streaming, Spark for data processing, and Airflow for workflow management. This pipeline will feed into a central data warehouse on Snowflake, allowing for real-time analytics and data observability. Our goal is to establish a data mesh architecture that empowers different teams with self-service capabilities, improving response times and operational efficiency. The project will span 12-16 weeks, focusing on seamless integration, data quality, and scalability. We prioritize a flexible architecture that accommodates future data demands and aligns with industry trends, ensuring that our systems not only meet current needs but are primed for future growth.
