FAQ's
Why was AWS S3 chosen instead of other cloud storage platforms?
AWS S3 was used as the target storage for data migration, enabling efficient structuring into delta tables with Databricks. It improved accessibility, reliability, and scalability while delivering significant cost savings for the client.
How does AWS DMS handle large-scale data migration without downtime?
AWS DMS facilitated seamless migration from the on-premises database to AWS S3. By using Change Data Capture (CDC), it ensured real-time data consistency and minimized processing overhead during the migration process.
How is Change Data Capture (CDC) different from traditional data synchronization?
CDC captures only incremental changes in real-time, avoiding full data reloads. Unlike traditional synchronization, it reduces latency, minimizes processing overhead, and ensures consistent, up-to-date data availability across cloud and on-premises systems.
How did cloud adoption impact scalability and agility for the fertilizer company?
Cloud adoption eliminated infrastructure constraints, allowing on-demand scalability and faster data accessibility. It improved agility by enabling real-time insights, reducing delays in decision-making, and supporting seamless integration with advanced analytics tools and services.
Can similar solutions be applied to other manufacturing industries beyond fertilizers?
Yes, similar cloud-based solutions can be applied across industries like pharmaceuticals, automotive, and energy. Any sector relying on data-driven insights can benefit from improved scalability, efficiency, and actionable intelligence enabled by modern cloud infrastructure.
