Big Data Reference Architecture

A production big data platform moves data through four distinct layers, each with defined throughput contracts and failure recovery mechanisms. This is the architecture CMARIX implements for big data development services engagements at petabyte scale.

Architecture

Our Big Data Implementation Process

A structured, milestone-gated process that moves from requirements to a production big data platform with validated throughput benchmarks and no big-bang cutover risk.

  • Data Volume, Velocity and Workload Assessment

    The evaluation of your existing data environment would include an analysis of the data sources, the ingestion rates, processing, queries, projections for growth, and latency requirements before you can begin designing your architecture. This way, your data environment will be designed based on actual workloads rather than expected capacity.

    Timeline: Week 1–2

    Deliverables: Data Source Inventory · Volume & Velocity Assessment · Workload Profiling · Consumer SLA Requirements · Gap Analysis

  • Architecture Design and Platform Selection

    We design the target state of the distributed platform; we choose compute/storage capabilities based on your measured load, and we model the total cost of ownership at your existing and forecasted data scale. All architecture decisions are recorded along with rationale.

    Timeline: Week 2–4

    Deliverables: Architecture blueprint · Platform selection matrix · Partitioning strategy · Cost model · Migration sequencing

  • Infrastructure, Pipeline and Processing Development

    The cluster is provisioned, ingestion connectors and processors are developed, and orchestration is done via 2-week sprints; every processor has been benchmarked for performance capability, failover capability, and documentation.

    Timeline: Week 4–14

    Deliverables: Cluster configuration · Ingestion pipelines · Processing jobs · Orchestration configuration · Unit and integration tests

  • Performance, Scalability and Cost Benchmarking

    These large-scale production workloads are used to verify throughput, latency, infrastructure utilization, and processing cost before going into production. Bottleneck tuning is performed, resource allocation is fine-tuned, and scalability is confirmed to achieve business and operational goals.

    Timeline: Week 10–14

    Deliverables: Throughput Benchmarks · Scalability Validation · Latency Analysis · Cost Optimization Report · Performance Tuning Documentation

  • Migration, Parallel Validation and Production Cutover

    We operate both old and new systems simultaneously, test output equivalence for every consumer, and perform the switch seamlessly without any risk of downtime. Migration of existing Hadoop workloads within the company follows the exact same process.

    Timeline: Week 12–16

    Deliverables: Parallel run results · Output validation report · Cutover plan · Consumer sign-off · Runbooks

  • Documentation, Handover and Managed Support

    Full documentation, architecture diagrams, operational manuals, and knowledge transfers are offered to ensure continued ownership of the platform. For those that need help with operations on a continuing basis, CMARIX offers managed services that include monitoring, tuning, maintenance, and security updates of the platform.

    Timeline: Week 14 onward

    Deliverables: Platform Documentation · Architecture Runbooks · Team Handover · SLA-Based Managed Support · Ongoing Platform Optimization

Frequently Asked Questions About Big Data Development

  • What are big data development services?

    Big data development services cover the design, build, and operation of distributed data processing platforms that handle data volumes, velocities, and varieties that standard relational databases and single-node tools cannot process reliably. This includes data lakes, streaming pipelines, Spark and Flink processing jobs, distributed query engines, and the governance and observability infrastructure that keeps them running in production.

  • When does my organization need big data solutions rather than standard data engineering?

    Standard data engineering tools handle most workloads well up to a few terabytes of data processed per day. You need big data solutions when: your processing jobs take hours rather than minutes and cannot be optimized further, your data volumes are growing faster than your current infrastructure can absorb, you need sub-second latency on queries across billions of rows, or your streaming event rates exceed what a single Kafka consumer can process. CMARIX assesses your actual workloads before recommending a distributed platform.

  • What is the difference between a data lake and a data lakehouse?

    A data lake stores raw, unprocessed data in object storage (S3, ADLS, GCS) with minimal structure. A data lakehouse adds a structured table-format layer (Delta Lake, Iceberg, Hudi) on top of object storage that provides ACID transactions, schema enforcement, and SQL query performance at the same cost-effective storage cost. Most modern big data platforms CMARIX builds use a lakehouse architecture because it combines the flexibility and cost of object storage with the reliability and queryability of a warehouse.

  • How much does big data development cost?

    For a Proof of Concept Sprint that tests a single processing workload, costs range between USD 12,000 and USD 22,000 for 3 to 5 weeks. For a full-fledged production platform setup, costs vary from USD 50,000 to USD 150,000 and take anywhere between 3 and 6 months. The cost of a managed operations service retainer is in the range of USD 8,000 to USD 25,000 monthly.

  • What cloud platforms does CMARIX support for big data?

    Our CMARIX services provide cloud big data solutions using AWS (EMR, Glue, Kinesis, Redshift), Azure (HDInsight, Databricks, Synapse, ADLS), and GCP (Dataproc, Dataflow, BigQuery, Pub/Sub). In addition, we offer Databricks, a cloud-agnostic Spark platform suitable for customers who want to work consistently in any cloud environment.

  • Can CMARIX migrate our on-premises Hadoop platform to the cloud?

    Yes. CMARIX provides structured migrations from Hadoop clusters to the cloud, including HDFS-to-object-storage migration, Hive-to-Delta Lake or Iceberg migration, MapReduce-to-Spark job transformation, and decommissioning of on-premises clusters. We migrate both old and new systems simultaneously, verify output equivalence for all downstream consumers, and migrate gradually.

  • How does CMARIX control cloud costs on big data platforms?

    Cost architecture is a critical component of all data platforms at CMARIX. We define auto-scaling policies, spot/preemptible VMs strategy, cold data management policy for data migration to cheaper storage tiers, result caching strategy, and job-level cost dashboards. We also conduct regular cost optimization assessments of our managed operations services as data sets and jobs grow more complex.

  • How do we get started with CMARIX big data development services?

    Start with a big data architecture review. CMARIX will measure your current data volumes, query patterns, processing runtimes, and cost profile, then recommend whether a distributed platform investment is justified and what architecture fits your requirements. Most clients start with a PoC Sprint to benchmark their most critical workload at scale before committing to a full platform build.
