Big Data Engineering

Handle the volume without the meltdown

What this involves

How we approach big data engineering at Oasis Hive.

Past a certain volume, the tools that got you there stop working. We design storage and processing that scales horizontally and stays understandable to the next engineer.

Streaming and batch platforms that ingest at scale and stay affordable and queryable.

What we do

Platform architecture

Storage, compute and query layers designed around your access patterns and budget.

Batch and streaming ingestion

Reliable pipelines with backfill, replay and exactly-once handling where needed.

Performance and cost tuning

Partitioning, compaction and query tuning to keep latency and bills sane.

Governance and lineage

Cataloguing, access control and lineage so people trust what they query.

What you end up with

  • Ingestion that keeps up with your peak volumes
  • Query performance that stays usable as data grows
  • Costs you can explain to a finance team
  • Lineage and access control your auditors accept

Tools and technologies

We choose per project rather than by habit. These are the ones we most often reach for here.

Questions about this service

Only if your access patterns justify one. Many organisations are better served by a well-modelled warehouse plus object storage for raw archives.
Through storage tiering, partition design, workload rightsizing and regular cost reviews with the bill attributed to owners.

Delivered properly

One team from scoping through to support

The people who design the system are the people who answer for it in production, so nothing falls between suppliers.

How the work runs

Six steps, no surprises

Step 01

Listen and map

We interview the people doing the work, review the systems in play and write down how things actually flow.

Step 02

Design the solution

We propose what to build first, what to leave alone, what it will cost and what we are assuming. Options come with trade-offs.

Step 03

Build in increments

Working software every two weeks, demonstrated against real data. You can redirect early while changes are still cheap.

Step 04

Verify and secure

Automated tests, security review and load checks run throughout, not at the end, so findings are fixed while the context is fresh.

Step 05

Launch with support

We plan the cutover with you, migrate data carefully, train your team and stay close through the first weeks in production.

Step 06

Run and improve

Monitoring, support and a regular review of what to improve next. Maintained systems stay valuable.

Let us scope big data engineering properly

A short discovery gives you a written specification, a schedule and a fixed price. No obligation to continue afterwards.
