Limited Capacity filling up

Designing a data architecture that can handle the **massive volume of a retail operation** requires more than just good tools; it requires **hardcore engineering rigor**.

At **Obramax**, we completely redesigned our data infrastructure, moving away from **isolated legacy databases** to a **unified, event-driven model** hosted on the **ADEO Group's DFDP platform**.

This session dives deep into the **engine room of our new Data Analytics platform**.

We will demonstrate our **aggressive automation approach** to building a **Medallion Architecture**.

You will see how we use **Apache Kafka** to capture **high-volume events** *(from SAP, VTEX, etc.)* and land them in our **Bronze layer**.

From there, we will showcase our strict **GitOps workflow using Terraform and dbt (Data Build Tool)** to automatically refine data into the **Silver layer**, and finally aggregate it into **business-ready Gold layer datasets**.

> Come see how we **automated the entire lifecycle of a Kafka event**
> from **system integration** to **BigQuery dashboard**
> with **zero-touch provisioning and maximum scalability**.

# 🎯 Key Takeaways

Participants will learn:

### ⚙️ Event Streaming Data Platform

A deep dive into building a **Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold)** using **event streams on Google BigQuery**.

---

### 🧱 Engineering Data Pipelines at Scale

How to combine:

- **Apache Kafka**
- **dbt (Data Build Tool)**
- **Terraform**

to build **bulletproof, scalable data pipelines** on the **ADEO DFDP platform**.

---

### 🔄 GitOps Data Infrastructure

Practical **GitOps strategies** for achieving:

# 🧭 Why This Talk Matters

Modern data platforms require **engineering discipline at scale**.

Retail environments generate **massive volumes of operational events**, and traditional batch pipelines cannot keep up with the **speed and reliability required for real-time analytics**.

By combining **event streaming, infrastructure-as-code, and GitOps practices**, Obramax built a **fully automated data platform** capable of transforming raw operational events into **business-ready analytical datasets**.

This session shares the **engineering patterns and automation strategies** that make this architecture scalable and maintainable.
