Data Engineering Reference Architecture

A modern data platform is a layered system in which ingestion, transformation, storage, quality, and serving each has a defined responsibility and a defined contract with the adjacent layer. This is the architecture CMARIX implements for enterprise data engineering services engagements.

Architecture

Our Data Engineering Process

  • Data Platform Assessment and Requirements Discovery

    We examine your current data ecosystem, including source systems, pipelines, downstream consumers, platform architecture, and operational bottlenecks. This results in a prioritized roadmap that highlights reliability and scalability issues and identifies the improvements needed to create a modern data platform.

    Timeline: Week 1–2

    Deliverables: Source inventory · Consumer requirements · Pipeline health scorecard · Gap analysis · Prioritized roadmap

  • Architecture Design and Technology Selection

    We design an architecture that is production-ready and reflects your existing infrastructure, future expansion possibilities, and performance targets.

Data Engineering Cost, Timeline and Engagement Models

CMARIX structures data engineering services engagements to match your platform maturity and delivery timeline, from a focused pipeline audit to a fully built cloud data platform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Engineering

  • How much do data engineering services cost?

    Audit and Roadmap is priced between USD 8,000 and USD 15,000 for a 2-3 week period. Build service is priced at USD 40,000-USD 120,000 and is spread over a period of 2-5 months. Monthly Retainer Pricing is USD 6,000-USD 20,000. All engagements follow milestone-based billing with fixed budgets and deliverables.

  • How Long Does a Data Engineering Project Take?

    A data engineering project usually lasts from 2 to 5 months, depending on the project's scale, data sources, platform complexity, and cloud migration. An audit and roadmap for a data platform takes 2 to 3 weeks, whereas a pipeline modernization project takes 4 to 8 weeks. An enterprise-wide implementation that includes cloud migration and multiple data sources will take several months.

  • What is the difference between ELT and ET?

    ETL involves transforming data prior to loading it into the target system. In ELT, the untransformed data is loaded first and then transformed using tools such as dbt in the target system. At CMARIX, we have chosen the ELT approach for our cloud warehouse and lakehouse environments due to its ease of implementation, rapid debugging, and ability to leverage cloud-native warehouses for processing.

  • When should we use a data warehouse or a lakehouse?

    A data lakehouse is an amalgamation of low-cost storage from a data lake and the high-performance querying capabilities of a data warehouse. A data lakehouse is the best fit when you need a storage layer that supports SQL analytics and machine learning development on the same dataset, or when your data volume makes a fully managed warehouse extremely expensive. CMARIX provides lakehouses on Databricks, Delta Lake, and Apache Iceberg.

  • Can CMARIX Migrate Legacy ETL Pipelines?

    Yes. CMARIX runs migration engagements from legacy ETL platforms including Informatica, SSIS, Talend, and custom Oracle PL/SQL pipelines to modern cloud-native stacks. We run old and new pipelines in parallel during the migration period, validate the equivalence of the outputs, and execute a sequenced cutover to protect downstream consumers who currently depend on your data.

  • How Is Data Quality Maintained Across Pipelines?

    All pipelines developed by CMARIX come packaged with automated data quality tests in dbt or Great Expectations to ensure that row counts, null counts, referential integrity, and schemas are validated in each execution. SLAs for freshness ensure that a notification is sent to the data team if pipeline execution is delayed.

  • Can Data Engineering Be Built on Our Existing Cloud Platform?

    CMARIX delivers cloud data engineering services on AWS, Azure, and GCP. On AWS, we build with S3, Glue, Redshift, and EMR. On Azure, we use Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, and ADLS. On GCP, we build with BigQuery, Dataflow, and Cloud Storage. We also work across multi-cloud environments for teams with data assets spread across multiple providers.

  • What Ongoing Support Is Required After Deployment?

    Data pipelines, transformation models, orchestration configurations, data quality testing frameworks, platform documentation, and runbooks for production are provided by CMARIX. Each engagement includes deliverables that your team can manage and operate post-handover. No prototypes and unstructured scripts.

  • What are data engineering services?

    Data engineering services cover the design, build, and operation of the infrastructure that moves data from source systems to the analysts, data scientists, and applications that need it: ingestion pipelines, transformation layers, data warehouses, lakehouses, streaming systems, and data quality frameworks. CMARIX delivers these as standalone pipeline builds, full platform engineering engagements, or ongoing retainer support.

  • What is the difference between a data engineer and a data scientist?

    Data engineers build and maintain the infrastructure that makes data available: pipelines, storage, transformation, and quality. Data scientists use that infrastructure to build models and surface insights. Most data science projects fail not because of modeling problems but because of data engineering problems. CMARIX addresses both, and we design the data infrastructure with the downstream modeling and analytics use cases in mind from the start.

  • How do we get started with CMARIX data engineering services?

    The process should begin with an audit of your data platform. This will allow CMARIX to evaluate the current state of your pipeline, source systems, consumer needs, and infrastructure, and generate a gap analysis with prioritization of steps required for completion. Our clients usually start with an audit.
