Built a pipeline to process millions of Kafka events using AWS Lambda and stream only relevant data into BigQuery.
Instead of moving entire datasets, we filtered events at ingestion:
Lambda triggered by Kafka (event-driven, no polling)
Applied business filters in-flight
Forwarded only required events to BigQuery
Result: Significant reduction in data volume, lower costs, and faster analytics.
Key lesson: Don’t move all data—move the right data.
If you're dealing with high-volume streams, filtering early can change everything.
