Modern Data Architecture on AWS

Prologue

The Data and Analytics Journey So Far

“We are surrounded by data but starved for insights”

– Jay Baer

We have been surrounded by digital data for almost a century now and every decade has had its unique challenges regarding how to get the best value out of that data. But these challenges were narrow in scope and manageable since the data itself was manageable. Even though data was rapidly growing in the 20th century, its volume, velocity, and variety were still limited in nature. And then we hit the 21st century and the world of data drastically changed. Data started to exponentially grow due to multiple reasons:

  • The adoption of the internet picked up speed and data grew into big data
  • Smartphone devices became a common household entity and these devices all generated tons of data
  • Social media took off and added to the deluge of information
  • Robotics, smart edge devices, industrial devices, drones, gaming, VR, and other artificial intelligence-driven gadgets took the growth of data to a whole new level.

However, across all this, the common theme that exists even today is that data gets produced, processed, stored, and consumed.

Now, even though the history of data and analytics goes back many decades, I don’t want to dig everything up. Since this book revolves around cloud computing technologies, it is important to understand how we got here, what systems were in place in the on-premises data center world, and why those same systems and the architectural patterns surrounding them struggle to cater to the business and technology needs of today.

In this prologue, we will cover the following main topics:

  • Introduction to the data and analytics journey
  • Traditional data platforms
  • Challenges with on-premises data systems
  • What this book is all about

If you are already well versed with the traditional data platforms and their challenges, you can skip this introduction and directly jump to Chapter 1.

Introduction to the data and analytics journey

The online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) systems worked great by themselves for a very long time when data producers were limited, the volume of data was under control, and data was mostly structured in tabular format. The last 20 years have seen a seismic shift in the way new businesses and technologies have come up.

As the volume, velocity, and variety of data started to pick steam, data grew into big data and the data processing techniques needed a major rehaul. This gave rise to the Apache Hadoop framework, which changed the way big data was processed and stored. With more data, businesses wanted to get more descriptive and diagnostic analytics out of their data. At the same time, another technology was gaining rapid traction, which gave organizations hope that they could look ahead to the future and predict what may happen in advance so that they could take immediate actions to steer their businesses in the right direction. This was made possible by the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning and soon, large organizations started investing in predictive analytics projects.

And while we were thinking that we got the big data under control with new frameworks, the data floodgates opened up. The last 10 to 15 years have been revolutionary with the onset of smart devices, including smartphones. Connectivity among all these devices and systems made data grow exponentially. This was termed the Internet of Things (IoT). And to add to the complexity, these devices started to share data in near real time, which meant that data had to be streamed immediately for consumption. The following figure highlights many of the sources from where data gets generated. A lot of insights can be derived from all this data so that organizations can make faster and better decisions:

Figure 00.1 – Big data sources

Figure 00.1 – Big data sources

This also meant that organizations started to carefully segregate their technical workforce to deal with data in personas. The people processing big data came to be known as data engineers, the people dealing with data for future predictions were the data scientists, and the people analyzing the data with various tools were the data analysts. Each type of persona had a well-defined task and there was a strong desire to create/purchase the best technological tool out there to make their day-to-day lives easier.

From a data and analytics point of view, systems started to grow bigger with extra hardware. Organizations started to expand their on-premises data centers with the latest and greatest servers out there to process all this data as fast as possible, to create value for their businesses. However, a lot of architecture patterns for data and analytics remained the same, which meant that many of the old use cases were still getting solved. However, with new demands from these businesses, pain areas started popping up more frequently.

This book does a great job of providing the reader an understanding of running a modern data environment on AWS from data ingestion to customer analytics. The best part is that each section includes business use cases that make not only the builder understand the concepts but also the analyst and lines of business.

Has your company tried to create a centralized big data processing platform in the past couple of decades ( plus or minus X years, depending on when it was founded)? Have you run into an issue of "many visible cracks have started to appear in the home-grown big data platform - scalability issues, reliability issues, multiple outages, constant upgrades and maintenance, performance issues, and,of course, growing costs"? Did it lead you to lose focus on business outcomes? "Modern Data Architecture on AWS" - A practical guide for building Next-Gen Data Platform on AWS by Mr.Behram Irani covers all the topics a modern Data Engineer( Architect, Product Manager, etc) needs to know in order to build Best In Class Data Applications. The book covers Modern Data architecture, Scalable Data Lakes, Batch Data Ingestion, Streaming Data Ingestion, Data Processing, Interactive Analytics, Data Warehousing, Data Sharing, Data Federation, Predictive Analytics, Generative AI, Operational Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data Governance, Data Mesh, Cost Optimization, and Automation/Monetization topics. While the book does not have hands-on tutorials ( you can find those in the links provided at the end of the chapters), it is an excellent resource for those who are new or have been with AWS but need to understand the AWS product roadmap better. I seem to have training on AWS stack about every two or three years, and each time, there is a new offering worth exploring. Even if you have your AWS Architect certification from 5-7 years ago, I strongly recommend looking at this book again to keep your skills up to date.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
