Lakeflow Connect: The Game-Changer for Complex Event-Driven Architectures
Description
In 2020, Delaware implemented a state-of-the-art, event-driven architecture for EFSA, enabling a highly decoupled system landscape, presented at the Data&AI Summit 2021. By centrally brokering events in near real-time, consumer applications react instantly to events from producer applications as they occur. Event producers are decoupled from consumers via a publisher/subscriber mechanism. Over the past years, we noticed some drawbacks. The processing of these custom events, primarily aimed for process integration weren’t covering all edge cases, the data quality was not always optimal due to missing events and we needed to create a complex logic for SCD2 tables. Lakeflow Connect allows us to extract the data directly from the source without the complex architecture in between, avoiding data loss and thus, data quality issues, and with some simple adjustments, an SCD2 table is created automatically. Lakeflow Connect allows us to create more efficient and intelligent data provisioning.
