The Challenge

Batch processing caused 6-hour delays in analytics, preventing real-time decision making. System couldn't handle traffic spikes during viral events. Data quality issues from duplicate and missing events created inaccurate analytics.

2

Our Solution

We architected a real-time streaming pipeline with Apache Kafka for ingestion and Apache Flink for processing. Implemented exactly-once semantics, auto-scaling based on queue depth, and multi-region deployment. Built data quality checks and monitoring dashboards for operational visibility.
