Abstract

The increasing reliance on data-driven insights has made the optimization of cloud-based data pipelines a critical aspect of modern business operations. This paper explores the use of AWS, Apache Kafka, and PostgreSQL as key components in designing efficient, scalable, and fault-tolerant data pipelines. AWS provides cloud infrastructure for storage, compute, and orchestration, ensuring high availability and scalability. Kafka, as a distributed messaging system, enables real-time data streaming with low latency, supporting event-driven architectures. PostgreSQL serves as the relational database for structured data storage, offering robust querying capabilities and transaction management. The study focuses on best practices for integrating these technologies to address challenges such as data latency, reliability, and performance bottlenecks. It further examines automation techniques using AWS Lambda and Glue for seamless data transformation and orchestration. The proposed framework enhances data pipeline efficiency by leveraging parallel processing and stream management techniques while ensuring secure data flows. This research provides actionable insights into creating agile and cost-effective data pipelines, supporting both real-time analytics and long-term data retention.
