Phase 02 involves transforming raw event data from the Bronze zone into cleaned Parquet files in the Silver zone and forecast-specific feature sets in the Gold zone for demand forecasting and personalized recommendations.
The setup includes using AWS Glue Jobs for cleaning and transforming data, AWS Glue Crawlers for catalog metadata, AWS CDK Stack for provisioning resource, and Athena Queries for data validation.
The S3 zones involved are the Bronze zone for raw data, Silver zone for cleaned data, and Gold zone for forecasting and recommendations-ready data.
Steps include creating Glue resources via CDK, defining Glue Jobs and Crawlers, updating ETL scripts, running Glue Jobs to transform data, and validating table creation using Athena queries.
The goal is to build a production-grade data lake with multi-zone architecture, automated ETL pipelines, schema discovery through Crawlers, and interactive querying via Amazon Athena.
The article provides detailed instructions, AWS CDK code snippets, and walkthroughs for setting up Glue resources, running ETL jobs, and validating the transformed data.
It emphasizes infrastructure-as-code with AWS CDK, setting up AI-ready, model-friendly, cost-efficient data pipelines for scaling and real-world cloud data platform design.
The article concludes by hinting at Phase 3, where the data will be utilized for AI-based demand forecasting with Amazon Bedrock, showcasing the progression towards actionable insights and real-world applications.
