Implementing a Robust Real-Time Data Streaming Solution
Developed a real-time data streaming solution using Apache Kafka, Debezium PostgreSQL Connector, ksqlDB, and AWS S3. This system captures, processes, and stores data changes from PostgreSQL and sends real-time and aggregated data to third-party services using Python. This resulted in improved data accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.

The Client
The client is a company seeking to implement a robust real-time data streaming solution to enhance their data processing capabilities. They require a system that can efficiently capture, process, and store data changes from their PostgreSQL database, as well as send real-time and aggregated data to third-party services.
The Challenge
The client faced several challenges:
- Efficiently capturing real-time data changes from a PostgreSQL database.
- Processing and storing this data in a scalable and reliable manner.
- Ensuring data is archived in a cost-effective and easily accessible format.
- Sending both real-time and aggregated data to third-party services promptly.
- Integrating various tools and technologies to create a seamless data pipeline.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the following solution was implemented:
- Kafka: Used for real-time data streaming to handle high throughput and ensure data durability.
- Debezium PostgreSQL Connector: Captured data changes from PostgreSQL in real-time and streamed them into Kafka.
- ksqlDB: Used to process and store the streaming data efficiently.
- PostgreSQL: Served as the source of data, with changes captured by Debezium.
- AWS S3: Used for archiving data in Parquet format, ensuring cost-effective storage and easy accessibility.
- Python: Scripts were developed to send data to third-party services as soon as it was captured and to send aggregated data based on business requirements.
Tools and Technologies
The following tools and technologies were utilized to build the solution:
Kafka
Debezium
ksqlDB
PostgreSQL
Amazon S3
Python
The Result
The implementation of this solution provided several key benefits:
- Real-Time Data Processing: Enabled the client to capture and process data changes in real-time, improving data accuracy and timeliness.
- Scalable and Reliable Storage: Ensured data durability and scalability using Kafka and AWS S3.
- Efficient Data Archiving: Stored data in Parquet format on AWS S3, optimizing storage costs and accessibility.
- Improved Data Delivery: Automated the delivery of both real-time and aggregated data to third-party services using Python scripts, enhancing the client's data utilization capabilities.
- Enhanced Integration: Successfully integrated various tools and technologies to create a seamless data pipeline, improving overall system efficiency.

Why Hire Us?
25+ Years of Existence in the Industry
We have been in web development since 1999. We started our operation mainly with web development using PHP/HTML/Javascript. In 2004 we developed a PHP MVC framework based on JAVA strut; till then, there was no PHP framework. After that, we worked on almost all web technologies. We are now into web-based solutions, Blockchain Development & Digital Transformation solutions, especially for small to medium-sized companies. We have never been big, but we were always stable; because of the solid technical & ethical base.
Proper Quality Engg and Quality Assurance
Your software or any product will fail if it fails to provide VALUE to its customers. And VALUE STREAM is the process required to convert a business hypothesis into a technology-enabled service that delivers value to the customer. To maximise the value, we always define a particular set of Quality Engg & QA processes for every project covering the complete SDLC process.
'Built-In Quality' - Your Key to Success
You can not make an iPhone in a factory that manufactures MI phones. iPhone requires separate manufacturing and quality engineering processes. In the same way, any software application with higher built-in quality is without proper Quality Engineering & QA processes. We deliver value, not just a bundle of code files. It has been possible by practising LEAN Software Development Principles, Toyota 5S, Agile Methodology, Scrum, DevOps, OpenAI, and more.
Highly Experienced and Skilled People
Due to our professional integrity and ethical practices, both employees and clients stay long with us. So we have more than 7 people in our small company who have been with us for over 15 years. 90% of the developers are 5+ years of experience. Due to the strong technical base and learning environment, people learn here quickly.
QA Team Takes the Accountiblity for Quality
Almost all developers write lousy code if there is a no definite QA Engineering & QA support processes. And eventually, you have to throw away all those bad codes in future. As a solution, you need a QA team. But setting up your own QA Team is too costly and cumbersome and our dedicated QA team will take this responsibility at a very reasonable cost.
World-Class-Quality - Indian Rate
We are in web development since 1999. In 2004 we developed a PHP MVC framework. Worked on almost all popular web technologies. We implemented many innovative ideas to maximize the client's revenue.
The Most Reasonable Rates
Per our policy, we charge at a very reasonable rate. However, we know our competitors who charge much more. Some charge multiple times than we do for a similar or even lesser quality of delivery. We would request you start tasting our service for just one project first.
Worldclass Agile and AI Tools in the Value Stream
We will not waste your time and money in remaking the wheel. Instead, we do continuous R&D on using software development tools, technologies, frameworks, concepts, and libraries for different software projects. We are familiar with popular cloud platforms like AWS, project development tools like Atlassian, many testing and test automation tools, and the latest AI tools like OpenAI ChatGPT and Open playground.
Solid Technical and Strong Ethical Base
We are small we never faced any sort of existential threat in the last 22 years of business. It is because of its solid technical and ethical base of key people running the business. As a result, both clients and employees do not leave us unless there is a major reason to do so. People stay with them for years.
History of Serving in the Long Term
Since 1999 we have been thinking about the long term. So we never applied various ways of making quick money. As a result, 90% of our revenue comes from a few clients who have been with us for years.
