Scalable Azure Data Engineering Solution Implementation
Devowise Studios
Verified
Designed and implemented a scalable end-to-end Azure data engineering solution to ingest, process, transform, and serve enterprise data for analytics and reporting. The solution leverages Azure's cloud-native services to automate ETL workflows and deliver reliable reporting datasets.
Architecture
The solution follows a modern medallion-style data pipeline:
Azure Data Factory (ADF)
Orchestrates and automates the complete data pipeline.
Schedules data ingestion and transformation workflows.
Monitors pipeline execution and handles failures.
Azure Blob Storage (Raw Layer)
Stores raw CSV files received from source systems.
Acts as the landing zone for incoming data.
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (Intermediate Layer)
Transfers raw files from Blob Storage.
Maintains historical copies.
Serves as the staging layer before transformation.
Azure Databricks
Performs data cleansing and validation.
Applies business transformation logic using PySpark.
Handles joins, aggregations, deduplication, and data quality checks.
Optimizes processing using Spark.
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (Processed Layer)
Stores transformed data in Delta/Parquet format.
Provides optimized datasets for downstream analytics.
Azure SQL Database
Loads curated data into reporting tables.
Supports BI dashboards and analytical reporting.
