Data is the fuel of the digital economy. However, its true value is realized only when it is processed quickly, reliably, and structured for analysis and reporting. Real-time data streaming enables companies to make data-driven decisions instantly. Data Vault 2.0 combined with AWS Kinesis provides a future-proof solution for efficiently processing and storing large volumes of data in modern data warehousing and BI environments.
Realtime on AWS with Data Vault 2.0
Join our webinar on March 18th, 2025, 11 am CET, and learn how to build a scalable, real-time data architecture on AWS. We’ll cover AWS infrastructure for real-time data, applying Data Vault 2.0 in real-time scenarios, and showcase a live demo with a real-world use case.
Why Real-Time Data Streaming for Data Warehousing and BI?
In today’s fast-paced business environment, timely access to accurate data is essential for making informed decisions. Traditional batch processing methods can no longer keep up with the need for real-time insights, often resulting in outdated reports and slow reaction times. Real-time data streaming solves this problem by enabling continuous data integration, allowing companies to analyze and act on fresh data as it arrives. This shift not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances overall business intelligence strategies by ensuring that the most up-to-date information is always available.
Data Vault 2.0 as the Foundation for Real-Time Data Warehousing
As organizations deal with increasing volumes of data from multiple sources, they need a flexible and scalable approach to data modeling. Data Vault 2.0 provides the ideal foundation for real-time data warehousing by offering a structured yet adaptable methodology. Unlike traditional data models, which can be rigid and difficult to modify, Data Vault 2.0 adapts to new requirements quite fast. By leveraging Data Vault 2.0, companies can build a resilient and future-proof data warehouse capable of handling real-time data streams with ease.
AWS Kinesis: Real-Time Data for Your Data Warehouse
