Multi-Cloud Deployment Architecture for Global Financial Data Analytics and Processing for Financial Data Analytics Applications

Description

This project implements a multi-cloud architecture for a Financial Data Analytics Application that collects, processes, and analyzes financial data from multiple sources. The platform supports large-scale data processing, historical analysis, financial reporting, and analytics across multiple cloud environments.

Aim

To design and implement a scalable multi-cloud platform for processing and analyzing large volumes of financial data across distributed cloud environments.

Objectives

01 Collect financial data from multiple sources.
02 Store structured and analytical financial data.
03 Process large volumes of financial data.
04 Perform historical and analytical processing.
05 Generate financial reports and insights.
06 Provide interactive analytics dashboards.
07 Support scalable multi-cloud workloads.
08 Maintain secure financial data processing.

Application Workflow

01

Stage 1. Financial Data Source Registration

Process

The administrator registers financial data sources and their configurations.

Tools
FastAPI PostgreSQL
Implementation

Source details, data types, connection information, and collection configurations are stored in PostgreSQL.

02

Stage 2. Financial Data Collection

Process

Financial data is collected from registered sources.

Tools
Apache Kafka
Implementation

Financial transactions, market data, and other financial records are collected and transferred through Kafka.

03

Stage 3. Data Ingestion

Process

Collected financial data is ingested into the analytical storage environment.

Tools
Apache Kafka Apache Parquet
Implementation

Kafka handles incoming data streams, while Parquet stores structured financial datasets efficiently.

04

Stage 4. Financial Data Processing

Process

Raw financial data is cleaned, transformed, and processed.

Tools
Apache Spark Apache Parquet
Implementation

Spark performs large-scale data transformation, aggregation, and validation.

05

Stage 5. Financial Data Analysis

Process

Processed data is queried for financial analysis.

Tools
Trino PostgreSQL
Implementation

Trino performs distributed SQL queries, while PostgreSQL stores application and analytical metadata.

06

Stage 6. Financial Reporting

Process

Financial analysts generate reports and dashboards.

Tools
Apache Superset Trino
Implementation

Superset connects to analytical datasets through Trino to provide interactive financial reports and dashboards.
