Delta Lake Solutions with Oxbow
Buoyant Data's Oxbow platform provides powerful, serverless solutions for building and maintaining Delta Lake tables from various data sources. Our solutions are designed for AWS environments and leverage Lambda functions for cost-effective, scalable data processing.
Ingestion Solutions
Streaming Data Ingestion
Kinesis Data Firehose
Real-time streaming data captured via Kinesis Data Firehose, delivered to S3 as Parquet files, and automatically converted to Delta Lake format. Ideal for high-volume clickstream analytics, IoT telemetry, and log aggregation.Key Features:
- Real-time data availability with near-zero latency
- Automatic schema evolution for changing data structures
- Scalable architecture that handles data volume spikes
- Cost-effective pay-as-you-go pricing model
Best for: High-volume streaming data that requires immediate analytics access.
SQS Ingest
Direct JSON-to-Delta ingestion using the specialized `sqs-ingest` Lambda function. This solution translates JSON messages from SQS queues directly into Delta Lake table rows without intermediate file storage, providing an efficient append-only data pipeline.Key Features:
- Direct JSON-to-Delta conversion eliminating intermediate Parquet files
- schema evolution support for changing JSON structures
- Configurable message buffering and batch sizing
- Optional DynamoDB locking for concurrent write safety
Best for: Event-driven applications, webhooks, and microservices producing JSON data that needs immediate access in Delta Lake.
Batch Data Ingestion
Airbyte S3 Output
Open-source data integration using Airbyte to extract data from hundreds of sources and write to S3 in Parquet format. Oxbow automatically converts these files to Delta Lake tables.Key Features:
- Hundreds of pre-built source connectors
- Incremental sync for efficient data extraction
- Schema evolution support for changing data structures
- Open-source with full transparency
Best for: Consolidating data from multiple heterogeneous sources into a unified Delta Lake.
Supported Data Sources: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Salesforce, Google Analytics, Stripe, Shopify, and hundreds more.
