Avocado Datalake Architecture

A high-level architecture of our proposed solution for managing all sources of data into a unified Data Lake.

RDBMS, GCS files, and NoSQL sources to a centralized Iceberg Data Lake Architecture
As a Data Lake and Data Warehouse Consulting company, we provide full support for ingesting structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources into a centralized Data Lake on AWS S3, GCP Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.

For structured data sources, we support relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Amazon Aurora, and GCP Cloud SQL. For semi-structured sources, we support MongoDB, Amazon DynamoDB, and Google Cloud Bigtable. For unstructured and file-based sources, we handle Apache Kafka streams as well as CSV, JSON, Parquet, Avro, and ORC files stored on GCS, S3, or Azure Blob.

By leveraging open table formats — Apache Hudi, Delta Lake, and Apache Iceberg — we ensure Change Data Capture (CDC), ACID-like guarantees, schema evolution, and optimized read/write operations across all cloud platforms.

To maximize the value of your Data Lake, we implement advanced metadata management using AWS Glue Data Catalog, Unity Catalog, or GCP Dataplex. This enables seamless data discovery through Amazon Athena, Presto, Trino, and Looker Studio.
Once data is curated in your lake, we can connect it to enterprise warehouses such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, or Azure Synapse Analytics.
