About Data Design

DataDesign.io offers data management and reporting solutions for educational institutions. Its transformative offerings save time and improve communication between students, parents, and teachers.

Challenges

  • Data Design required efficient daily management of 7-8 GB of data for insights extraction.
  • Data Design needed resilient systems and recovery strategies to ensure uninterrupted services.
  • Data Design should have a robust disaster recovery plan to ensure quick and efficient restoration of data and systems in case of a disaster.
  • ETL processing, versioning, automation, error handling, and monitoring are complex.
  • Need for an end-to-end data pipeline for reliable data processing and analysis.
  • Data Design needed data recovery plans that comply with privacy regulations like GDPR.

Proposed Solution & Architecture

  • Our AWS experts designed cloud-native architecture to ensure high resilience and availability. 
  • We used AWS Glue to establish reliable ETL jobs, ensuring smooth transformation and data loading into the AWS RDS PostgreSQL database, focusing on resilience and data recovery.
  • The data extracted from diverse sources was transformed and loaded into Amazon Redshift, establishing a resilient and centralized repository optimized for analytics.
  • Our team scheduled and event-triggered execution of ETL tasks ensured timely data processing.
  • We introduced an update mechanism with JSON files, tracked data changes, and seamlessly updated the PostgreSQL database.
  • Our team leveraged S3 event triggers to detect new JSON files, triggering Lambda function updates.
  • We employed AWS Lambda functions to automate various stages, including file unzipping, data transformation, and ETL job initiation.
  • Our experts configured event triggers for automatic Lambda function activation based on specific activities.
  •  We used the AWS EventBridge rule for real-time monitoring of ETL job status.
  • Our team designed a fault-tolerant architecture for quick recovery from failures.
  • We created an automated, scalable data pipeline addressing data quality, automation, error management, and analysis.
  • We used AWS IAM to manage user identities and permissions, ensuring secure access to resources throughout the project based on client security and compliance requirements.

Metrics for success

  • We have achieved a remarkable 62% reduction in processing time and improved system resilience by implementing an exclusion pattern design architecture.’
  • Our team achieved 99.9% system uptime for the AWS RDS PostgreSQL database using AWS Glue’s resilient ETL jobs and data transformation processes.
  • We achieved a 40% reduction in data errors and discrepancies after migrating to Amazon Redshift’s centralized repository, which improved data integrity and resilience.
  • Reduced 30% in data processing costs through AWS Glue’s optimized resource allocation and managed services.
