Applications
Process and Techniques
Data Ingestion
Gathering raw data from various sources such as databases, IoT devices, APIs, and logs. This involves protocols for real-time streaming data (e.g., Apache Kafka) and batch processing (e.g., Apache Spark).
Data Storage
Storing data in appropriate formats and structures that support efficient querying and analysis. Common storage solutions include relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL), NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra), data lakes (e.g., Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage), and distributed file systems (e.g., Hadoop HDFS).
Data Processing
Transforming raw data into a clean, structured format suitable for analysis. This includes data cleaning, normalization, aggregation, and enrichment processes. Tools like Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink are commonly used for large-scale data processing.
Data Integration
Combining data from multiple sources to create a unified view of information. Integration may involve Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes or ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) pipelines. Tools like Apache Airflow, Talend, and Informatica facilitate automated data integration workflows.
Data Quality Assurance
Ensuring data accuracy, consistency, completeness, and reliability through validation and verification processes. Techniques include data profiling, anomaly detection, and data quality rules enforcement.
Data Governance and Security
Establishing policies, standards, and controls for data management to ensure compliance with regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) and protect sensitive information. Tools like Apache Ranger, AWS IAM, and HashiCorp Vault provide security and access control mechanisms.
