Professional Services Overview

We deliver comprehensive professional services for implementing enterprise-grade, serverless data lake solutions on AWS. Our team combines over 10 years of cloud architecture and DevOps expertise to build production-ready data platforms that scale automatically with your business needs.

What we deliver: complete data lake implementations featuring automated ETL pipelines, real-time RESTful APIs with OpenAPI documentation, multi-format data support (CSV, JSON, Parquet), and serverless architecture requiring zero infrastructure management. All solutions are built using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform + Serverless Framework) for full reproducibility and version control.

100% Serverless

Pay-per-use model with automatic scaling from zero to millions of requests.

Real-Time APIs

RESTful endpoints with OpenAPI documentation and API key authentication.

Use Cases

Our serverless data lake solution addresses diverse industry needs across public and private sectors, from environmental monitoring to industrial IoT applications.

Environmental Monitoring

Real-time collection and analysis of environmental data from distributed sensor networks. Process meteorological data (precipitation, temperature, wind), air quality metrics and solar radiation. Automated alerts, historical trend analysis, and public API access for citizens and researchers.

Typical scale: 50-500 sensors, 1M+ readings/day

IoT Data Analytics

High-volume IoT sensor data ingestion and real-time analytics for industrial applications. Build real-time dashboards, run complex analytics queries, and integrate with machine learning models for predictive insights and anomaly detection.

Typical scale: 1000+ devices, 10M+ events/day

Smart City & Public Services

Centralized data platform for smart city initiatives. Aggregate data from traffic sensors, energy management systems, waste collection services, and public transportation, with public APIs for citizen engagement.

Typical scale: Multi-source integration, public API access
Reference Architecture

Our solution is built entirely on AWS using serverless technologies, following AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices across all six pillars. The architecture runs 100% in the customer's AWS account with no dependencies on third-party services.
