Real-time Data Ingestion from Retail Outlets

The Challenge

Before implementing the EMR-based analytics platform, the organization struggled to process massive data generated across its retail network. Traditional batch systems were slow, frequently timed out, and could not scale for continuous data from thousands of DUs, tanks, and nozzles. Complex analytics, real-time Kafka/MSK streaming workloads, and fragmented ETL pipelines led to delayed insights, inconsistent data quality, and scalability challenges, creating the need for a centralized high-performance big data platform.

Solutions

  • PySpark on EMR enables parallel processing of large datasets, while Spark Structured Streaming supports real-time ingestion from Kafka and Amazon S3.
  • Data is ingested from Amazon MSK, SFTP feeds, Amazon SQS, and Amazon S3 for both streaming and batch processing.
  • Over 200 PySpark scripts perform SIR, data quality checks for 5000+ ROs, anomaly detection, reorder predictions, loyalty analysis, and complaint processing.
  • Processed data is stored in Amazon Redshift, PostgreSQL/Aurora, and Amazon S3 for analytics and operational reporting.
  • Schema validation ensures consistent data quality, while centralized logging and monitoring track execution status, errors, and record counts.
  • GitLab is used for source code management, collaboration, and deployments.

The Results

Delivered 10x faster data processing, real-time ingestion from 5000+ retail outlets, and 200+ automated analytics pipelines through a centralized Big Data platform using Amazon EMR and Apache Spark.
