Architecture & Workflows
Our accelerator uses a resilient, event-driven architecture to ensure exactly-once delivery from Databricks to Aurora MySQL.
Sync 500+ Delta Lake tables to MySQL Aurora with exactly-once delivery guarantees, automatic failover, and comprehensive observability. Production-ready solution with 37+ documentation files and battle-tested resilience patterns. Deploy in 2-3 weeks instead of 4-6 months.
Solution Highlights
Enterprise Scale
Support for 500+ tables with configurable sync frequency. Handles millions of rows per day with automated batch grouping for optimal performance.
- ✓ Scale to 500+ concurrent tables
- ✓ Configurable sync frequency (min 1 min)
- ✓ Automated batch grouping logic

Exactly-Once Delivery
Watermark-based deduplication ensures no duplicates or missed records. Two-phase commit with per-batch recovery for crash resilience.
- ✓ Watermark-based deduplication
- ✓ Two-phase commit transactions
- ✓ Idempotent writes to Aurora

Automatic Failover
RDS Proxy integration provides zero-downtime during Aurora maintenance. Circuit breaker patterns prevent cascade failures.
- ✓ Zero-downtime maintenance handling
- ✓ Circuit breaker pattern implementation
- ✓ Automatic retry with exponential backoff

Job Checkpointing
Crash recovery from last checkpoint, not from the beginning. Job-level checkpointing enables incremental recovery and resume capabilities.
- ✓ Stateful streaming checkpoints
- ✓ Incremental recovery
- ✓ No full re-sync required on restart

Comprehensive Monitoring
Full observability with SLA tracking, cost monitoring, and alerting. Proactive CDF expiry monitoring prevents unexpected full resyncs.
- ✓ Real-time SLA tracking dashboards
- ✓ Detailed cost monitoring
- ✓ Proactive CDF expiry alerts

Enterprise Security
RBAC, IAM integration, secrets management, and compliance-ready. Credential sanitization in logs and audit trails for all operations.
- ✓ Secrets Management integration
- ✓ Sanitized audit logs
- ✓ IAM role-based access

Complete Documentation
37+ comprehensive documentation files including runbooks, DR procedures, performance tuning guides, and operator quick start.
- ✓ Runbooks & DR Procedures
- ✓ Performance Tuning Guides
- ✓ Operator Quick Start Playbooks

Fast Deployment
Production-ready in 2-3 weeks vs. 4-6 months for custom development. Includes infrastructure as code and automated setup scripts.
- ✓ Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- ✓ Automated setup scripts
- ✓ Production-ready in < 3 weeks
