Building the Foundations of an Intelligent, Event-Driven Data Platform at EFSA

To comply with this new regulation, delaware has been supporting EFSA in undergoing a large Digital Transformation program. We have been designing and rolling-out a modern data platform running on Azure and powered by Databricks. This platform acts as a central control tower brokering data between a variety of applications. It is built around modularity principles, making it adaptable and versatile while keeping the overall ecosystem aligned w.r.t. changing processes and data models. At the heart of the platform lie two important patterns: 1. An Event Driven Architecture (EDA): enabling an extremely loosely coupled system landscape. By centrally brokering events near real-time, consumer applications can react immediately to events from producer applications as they occur. Event producers are decoupled from consumers via a publisher/subscribe mechanism. 2. A central data stor…
