Our SME payment processing company seeks to enhance its data infrastructure by implementing a state-of-the-art real-time data pipeline. This project aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies like Apache Kafka and Snowflake to improve data processing capabilities, enabling timely insights and improved decision-making.

📋Project Details

In the fast-paced world of payment processing, timely and accurate data is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage and ensuring compliance. Our company is facing challenges with our existing batch-based data processes, leading to delays in insights that are critical to business operations. To address this, we propose the development of a real-time data pipeline using Apache Kafka for event streaming and Snowflake for scalable data warehousing. This pipeline will be orchestrated using Airflow and enhanced with Spark for processing and analysis, integrating with our existing data ecosystem. Our goal is to implement a robust data mesh architecture that ensures data observability and reliable data flow across various functions. This project will not only improve data accessibility and accuracy but also enable us to respond to market demands more swiftly, optimize payment processing operations, and anticipate customer needs effectively.
