This document discusses the benefits of implementing a unified log to aggregate event data from different systems and sources. It provides a history of business data processing, from siloed "classic" and "hybrid" eras to the current "unified" era. A unified log like Amazon Kinesis or Apache Kafka allows a company to have a single version of truth, unraveling the hairball of point-to-point integrations. Snowplow, an open-source analytics platform, is working on integrating with unified logs to enable real-time analytics across all company data.

AWS User Group UK: Why your company needs a unified log
- 1. Why your company needs a Unified Log AWS User Group UK, 28th January 2015

- 3. So what is a Unified Log?
- 4. A quick history lesson: the three eras of business data processing [1] 1. The classic era, 1996+ 2. The hybrid era, 2005+ 3. The unified era, 2013+ [1] http://snowplowanalytics.com/blog/ 2014/01/20/the-three-eras-of-business-data-processing/

- 9. The hybrid era: the number of data integrations is unsustainable
- 10. So how do we unravel the hairball?

- 13. “Kafka is designed to allow a single cluster to serve as the central data backbone for a large organization” [1] [1] http://kafka.apache.org/
- 14. So what does a unified log give us? A single version of the truth Our truth is now upstream from the data warehouse The hairball of point-to-point connections has been unravelled Local loops have been unbundled 1 2 3 4
- 15. What does a unified log let us do that we couldn’t do before? Populating a unified log with your company’s event streams Real-time management reporting To enable… Holistic systems monitoring Re-running models from Day 0 A/B testing end-to-end pipelines Shipping offline models to RT … anything requiring low latency response / holistic view of our company’s data!
- 16. How are we embracing the unified log at Snowplow?
- 17. Some background: early on, we decided that Snowplow should be composed of a set of loosely coupled subsystems 1. Trackers 2. Collectors 3. Enrich 4. Storage 5. AnalyticsA B C D D = Standardised data protocols Generate event data from any environment Log raw events from trackers Validate and enrich raw events Store enriched events ready for analysis Analyze enriched events These turned out to be critical to allowing us to evolve the above stack
- 18. Today most users are running a batch-based Snowplow configuration Hadoop- based enrichment Snowplow event tracking SDK Amazon Redshift Amazon S3 HTTP-based event collector • Batch-based • Normally run overnight; sometimes every 4-6 hoursThe Snowplow batch-based flow uses Amazon S3 as a “poor man’s” unified log

Notas del editor
- We have a single version of the truth – together, the unified log plus Hadoop archive represent our single version of the truth. They contain exactly the same data - our event stream - they just have different time windows of data The single version of the truth is upstream from the data warehouse – in the classic era, the data warehouse provided the single version of the truth, making all reports generated from it consistent. In the unified era, the log provides the single version of the truth: as a result, operational systems (e.g. recommendation and ad targeting systems) compute on the same truth as analysts producing management reports Point-to-point connections have largely been unravelled - in their place, applications can append to the unified log and other applications can read their writes Local loops have been unbundled - in place of local silos, applications can collaborate on near-real-time decision-making via the unified log
