Bridging data silos: cross-bounded context querying with Vanguard’s Operational Read-only Data Store (ORDS) using Amazon Redshift
Big Data Blog
This article discusses how Vanguard modernized its legacy batch processing system by implementing an Operational Read-only Data Store (ORDS) using Amazon Redshift to bridge data silos across different business domains.
- Transitioned from a centralized mainframe database to a cloud-native, domain-driven architecture
- Addressed challenges like resource contention, lack of domain isolation, and scalability constraints
- Leveraged Amazon Redshift's data sharing capabilities to create logically isolated data domains
- Implemented zero-ETL functionality to integrate data and enable real-time analytics
- Used AWS Database Migration Service and Amazon Kinesis for data ingestion from various sources
The solution provides improved data management, cross-domain data access, and enhanced performance while maintaining clear data ownership and enabling autonomous team operations.
