Data Lake Solution for Live Streaming Text & Audio Data with AWS Deep-Learning/ML Services

AWS Solution Overview

The below architecture diagram illustrates high-level infrastructure components of the customer’s production environment.

Data Engineering Pipeline for Text and Audio Data

This solution helped in building a data engineering pipeline for data in the form of JSON and audio data from the source.

The pipeline includes 4-5 different steps that were performed on the source data:

• Source text data coming from the customer application was first stored in a central data lake solution like S3
• An ETL operation is performed on it to clean the raw data
• A querying mechanism is set up to extract important data from the cleaned data.
• The audio data is transcribed into SRT format and translated to the desired language
• This formatted audio data is again stored in a central data store for more feature implementation. 

AWS Services Leveraged

• Amazon API Gateway
• Amazon DynamoDB
• Amazon S3
• AWS Lambda
• Amazon Transcribe
• Amazon Translate
• AWS CloudFront
• AWS Glue Crawler, Data Catalog, and ETL-jobs
