Hi Community,

In the first part of this series, we examined the fundamentals of Interoperability on Python (IoP), specifically how it enables us to construct such interoperability elements as business services, processes, and operations using pure Python.

Now, we are ready to take things a step further. Real-world integration scenarios extend beyond simple message handoffs.They involve scheduled polling, custom message structures, decision logic, filtering, and configuration handling.In this article, we will delve into these more advanced IoP capabilities and demonstrate how to create and run a more complex interoperability flow using only Python.

To make it practical, we will build a comprehensive example: The Reddit Post Analyzer Production. The concept is straightforward: continuously retrieving the latest submissions from a chosen subreddit, filtering them based on popularity, adding extra tags to them, and sending them off for storage or further analysis.

The ultimate goal here is a reliable, self-running data ingestion pipeline. All major parts (the Business Service, Business Process, and Business Operation) are implemented in Python, showcasing how to use IoP as a Python-first integration methodology.

Modern data architectures utilize real-time data capture, transformation, movement, and loading solutions to build data lakes, analytical warehouses, and big data repositories. It enables the analysis of data from various sources without impacting the operations that use them. To achieve this, establishing a continuous, scalable, elastic, and robust data flow is essential. The most prevalent method for that is through the CDC (Change Data Capture) technique. CDC monitors for small data set production, automatically captures this data, and delivers it to one or more recipients, including analytical data repositories. The major benefit is the elimination of the D+1 delay in analysis, as data is detected at the source as soon as it is produced, and later is replicated to the destination.

This article will demonstrate the two most common data sources for CDC scenarios, both as a source and a destination. For the data source (origin), we will explore the CDC in SQL databases and CSV files. For the data destination, we will use a columnar database (a typical high-performance analytical database scenario) and a Kafka topic (a standard approach for streaming data to the cloud and/or to multiple real-time data consumers).

Overview

This article will provide a sample for the following interoperability scenario:
