Advanced Project For Data Engineering in Azure
Advanced Project For Data Engineering in Azure
Project Overview
This project aims to develop a comprehensive data engineering solution on the MS Azure
platform to support a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. The solution will focus on
data integration, warehousing, and analytics to enable data-driven decision-making and
operational efficiency.
Solution Architecture
1. Data Sources:
o ERP Systems
o Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
o Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)
o PI (Process Information)
o Supply Chain Management Systems
2. Data Ingestion:
o Azure Data Factory (ADF): Orchestrates the data flow from various sources to
Azure Data Lake Storage.
o Azure Event Hubs/Kafka: For real-time data ingestion from streaming sources
like MES and PI.
3. Data Storage:
o Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS): Centralized storage for raw and processed
data.
o Azure SQL Data Warehouse: Optimized for large-scale analytics and reporting.
4. Data Processing:
o Azure Databricks: For ETL processes, data transformation, and machine
learning workloads.
o Azure Synapse Analytics: Unified experience for big data and data warehousing.
5. Data Modeling:
o Star Schema and Snowflake Schema: Optimized for analytical querying.
o Data Vault Modeling: For flexibility and historical data tracking.
6. Data Integration and ETL:
o Azure Data Factory: Develop ETL pipelines to clean, transform, and load data
into the data warehouse.
o Azure Databricks: Advanced transformations and machine learning models.
7. Data Governance and Security:
o Azure Purview: For data cataloging and governance.
o Azure Active Directory (AAD): For authentication and access control.
o Encryption: In-transit and at-rest encryption using Azure Key Vault.
8. Data Quality:
o Azure Data Quality Services (DQS): Implement data validation and cleansing.
o Monitoring and Alerting: Using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
9. Data Visualization:
o Power BI: For creating interactive dashboards and reports.
o Azure Analysis Services: For semantic data models and high-performance
analytical querying.
10. DevOps/DataOps:
o Azure DevOps: For CI/CD pipelines, version control, and automated testing.
o Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates
and Terraform.
