Real-time Data Pipeline: Kafka, CDC, và Streaming Architecture

"Tại sao dashboard của tôi update mỗi ngày 1 lần? Competitor có real-time data, còn chúng ta phải chờ đến sáng hôm sau."

Nếu bạn là Data Engineer và nghe câu này từ CEO, đã đến lúc nghĩ đến real-time data pipeline.

5-10 năm trước, real-time analytics là luxury - chỉ Netflix, Uber, Amazon có. Ngày nay, nó là requirement:

• E-commerce: Real-time inventory để avoid overselling
• Fintech: Real-time fraud detection (phát hiện giao dịch gian lận trong < 1 giây)
• Logistics: Real-time tracking, route optimization
• Gaming: Real-time leaderboards, player analytics

Theo Gartner, 87% enterprises sẽ implement real-time or near-real-time analytics by 2025. Nếu bạn vẫn dùng batch (daily ETL), bạn đang thua cuộc.

Nhưng real-time không dễ. Traditional batch ETL (chạy mỗi đêm) đơn giản, proven. Real-time thì:

• Complex architecture (Kafka, CDC, Stream processing)
• Higher cost (infrastructure always running)
• More failure modes (latency spikes, backpressure, out-of-order events)

Trong bài này, bạn sẽ học:

• Batch vs Streaming: trade-offs thật sự
• Khi nào cần real-time (< 1 phút latency)
• Change Data Capture (CDC): Debezium, database replication
• Apache Kafka fundamentals: Topics, partitions, consumer groups
• Stream processing: Kafka Streams, Flink, Spark Streaming
• Architecture example: E-commerce real-time analytics
• Cost comparison: batch vs streaming
• Migration path: Start batch, add streaming incrementally

Sau bài này, bạn sẽ biết exactly khi nào nên (và không nên) go real-time, và cách implement nó.

Batch vs Streaming: The Fundamental Trade-off

Batch Processing (Traditional)

How it works:

┌──────────┐     Nightly     ┌──────────┐      Morning      ┌──────────┐
│ Database │────────────────>│   ETL    │─────────────────>│   Data   │
│ (OLTP)   │   (12AM-3AM)   │  Server  │   (Ready 6AM)    │Warehouse │
└──────────┘                 └──────────┘                   └──────────┘
                                   │
                             Process all
                             yesterday's data

Characteristics:

• Latency: 6-24 hours
• Simplicity: Proven, well-understood
• Cost: Lower (run once per day)
• Use case: Historical analysis, reporting

Example:

• E-commerce: Sales report cho yesterday
• Marketing: Campaign performance report
• Finance: Daily P&L

Stream Processing (Real-time)

How it works:

┌──────────┐  Continuous   ┌──────────┐  Continuous  ┌──────────┐
│ Database │──────────────>│  Kafka   │────────────>│  Flink   │
│ (OLTP)   │   (CDC)       │ Streams  │  Processing  │  Jobs    │
└──────────┘               └──────────┘              └────┬─────┘
                                                          │
                                                    < 1 second
                                                          ↓
                                                  ┌────────────┐
                                                  │Real-time DB│
                                                  └────────────┘

Characteristics:

• Latency: < 1 second to few minutes
• Complexity: Harder to build, maintain
• Cost: Higher (always running)
• Use case: Operational analytics, fraud detection, personalization

Example:

• E-commerce: Real-time inventory updates
• Fraud: Detect suspicious transaction immediately
• Gaming: Live leaderboards

Key Differences

The Truth: You Need Both

Reality: Most companies need hybrid architecture:

• Streaming: For operational use cases (< 1 hour latency needed)
• Batch: For historical analysis, complex transformations

Example E-commerce:

• Real-time (streaming): Inventory updates, fraud detection
• Batch (nightly): Revenue reports, customer segmentation, ML model training

→ Don't replace batch with streaming. Augment batch with streaming where needed.

When You Actually Need Real-time

Not everything needs real-time. Implementing real-time cho use case không cần = wasted effort.

✅ Use Cases That Need Real-time (< 1 minute latency)

1. Fraud Detection

• Requirement: Detect fraudulent transaction BEFORE completion
• Latency: < 5 seconds
• Example:
  • User từ Vietnam suddenly có transaction ở Nigeria
  • Amount unusually large
  • → Block transaction immediately

2. Real-time Pricing & Inventory

• Requirement: Prevent overselling, dynamic pricing
• Latency: < 30 seconds
• Example:
  • E-commerce: Last 2 items in stock, show "Only 2 left!"
  • Airlines: Dynamic pricing based on demand
  • Uber: Surge pricing

3. Operational Dashboards

• Requirement: Monitor systems, detect issues fast
• Latency: < 1 minute
• Example:
  • Server CPU spike → alert DevOps
  • Website traffic surge → scale infrastructure
  • Payment gateway down → notify team

4. Customer-facing Real-time Analytics

• Requirement: User sees their own data immediately
• Latency: < 10 seconds
• Example:
  • Banking app: Transaction appears in history immediately
  • Fitness app: Workout stats update live
  • Delivery app: Order status updates

5. Personalization & Recommendations

• Requirement: React to user behavior in session
• Latency: < 5 seconds
• Example:
  • User views product A → Recommend related products
  • User abandons cart → Trigger popup offer
  • Netflix: Update recommendations based on current watch

❌ Use Cases That DON'T Need Real-time

1. Historical Reporting

• Weekly/monthly sales reports → Batch is fine
• Marketing ROI analysis → Batch
• Financial statements → Batch

2. ML Model Training

• Models train on historical data → Batch
• Feature engineering → Batch
• Even "real-time" models retrain in batch

3. Complex Analytics

• Customer lifetime value calculation → Batch
• Cohort analysis → Batch
• A/B test analysis → Batch

4. Data Quality Checks

• Most checks can run daily → Batch
• Exception: Critical operational data → Real-time

Rule of Thumb:

• Question to ask: "What bad thing happens if this data is 1 hour old?"
• If answer is "Nothing serious" → Batch
• If answer is "We lose money / customers / safety" → Real-time

Change Data Capture (CDC): The Foundation

CDC là technology để capture changes (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) từ database và stream chúng real-time.

Why CDC?

Traditional approach (Batch):

-- Nightly ETL query
SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE updated_at >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1 day';

Problems:

• Misses deletes (deleted rows không có trong result)
• Relies on updated_at column (nếu không có thì sao?)
• Full table scan nếu table lớn
• Batch latency (24 hours)

CDC approach:

Database Transaction Log
  ↓
CDC Tool (Debezium)
  ↓
Kafka Topic (orders_changes)
  ↓
Stream Processor
  ↓
Data Warehouse (near real-time)

Benefits:

• Capture all changes: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
• Low latency: < 1 second
• Low impact: Reads transaction log, not query database
• No schema changes: Không cần thêm updated_at column

CDC Technologies

1. Debezium (Most Popular - Open Source)

How it works:

• Reads database transaction log (binlog for MySQL, WAL for PostgreSQL)
• Publishes changes to Kafka topics
• Supports: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server

Setup Example (PostgreSQL):

# debezium-postgres-connector.json
{
  "name": "orders-connector",
  "config": {
    "connector.class": "io.debezium.connector.postgresql.PostgresConnector",
    "database.hostname": "postgres.example.com",
    "database.port": "5432",
    "database.user": "debezium_user",
    "database.password": "password",
    "database.dbname": "ecommerce",
    "database.server.name": "ecommerce_db",
    "table.include.list": "public.orders,public.order_items,public.customers",
    "plugin.name": "pgoutput",
    "publication.autocreate.mode": "filtered"
  }
}

Output (Kafka Message):

{
  "before": null,
  "after": {
    "order_id": 12345,
    "customer_id": 678,
    "total_amount": 150.00,
    "status": "completed",
    "created_at": "2025-01-11T10:30:00Z"
  },
  "source": {
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "connector": "postgresql",
    "name": "ecommerce_db",
    "ts_ms": 1641897000000,
    "snapshot": "false",
    "db": "ecommerce",
    "schema": "public",
    "table": "orders"
  },
  "op": "c",  // c=create, u=update, d=delete
  "ts_ms": 1641897001234
}

Pros:

• Open-source, free
• Wide database support
• Proven at scale (used by Uber, Netflix)

Cons:

• Requires Kafka infrastructure
• Complex setup
• Needs database permissions

2. AWS DMS (Database Migration Service)

Pricing: $1-2 per million rows/month

Recommendation:

• Open-source / budget: Debezium + Kafka
• AWS: AWS DMS
• GCP: Datastream
• Zero-ops: Fivetran

Apache Kafka: The Streaming Backbone

Apache Kafka is distributed event streaming platform - heart của real-time architecture.

Kafka Core Concepts

1. Topics

• Like a table/log where events are written
• Example topics: orders, page_views, payment_transactions
• Append-only (immutable)

2. Partitions

• Topic split into partitions for parallelism
• Each partition is ordered sequence of events
• Example: orders topic with 10 partitions → 10 parallel consumers

Topic: orders
├── Partition 0: [order_1, order_5, order_9, ...]
├── Partition 1: [order_2, order_6, order_10, ...]
└── Partition 2: [order_3, order_7, order_11, ...]

3. Producers

• Applications that write events to topics
• Example: CDC tool (Debezium) writes database changes

4. Consumers

• Applications that read events from topics
• Example: Flink job reads orders, calculates revenue

5. Consumer Groups

• Multiple consumers working together to process topic
• Each partition consumed by 1 consumer in group
• Enables parallelism

Consumer Group: revenue_calculator
├── Consumer 1 → Partition 0, 1
├── Consumer 2 → Partition 2, 3
└── Consumer 3 → Partition 4, 5

Kafka Use Cases

1. Event Streaming

• User clicks → Kafka → Analytics
• IoT sensor data → Kafka → Dashboards

2. Log Aggregation

• Application logs → Kafka → Elasticsearch
• Better than files: scalable, real-time

3. Messaging

• Replace traditional message queues (RabbitMQ, SQS)
• Higher throughput, better persistence

4. Stream Processing

• Data pipeline backbone
• Input to Flink/Spark Streaming

Managed Kafka Services

1. Confluent Cloud

• Pros: Best Kafka experience, added features (Schema Registry, ksqlDB)
• Cons: Expensive ($1-10K/month)
• Use case: Production-grade, need support

2. AWS MSK (Managed Streaming for Kafka)

• Pros: AWS-native, integrates với AWS services
• Cons: Limited features vs Confluent
• Pricing: $0.05-0.60/hour per broker

3. Self-hosted (Open Source)

• Pros: Free, full control
• Cons: Operations burden (monitoring, scaling, upgrades)
• Use case: Large team, Kafka expertise

Recommendation:

• < 1M events/day: Confluent Cloud (Basic tier, $1-2K/month)
• AWS-heavy: MSK
• > 10M events/day + expertise: Self-hosted

Stream Processing: Transform Data in Flight

Stream processing = transform, aggregate, join streaming data in real-time.

Stream Processing Engines

1. Kafka Streams (Easiest)

Pros:

• Library, not separate cluster (runs in your app)
• Java/Scala
• Tight Kafka integration

Example:

// Count orders per customer in real-time
StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();

KStream<String, Order> orders = builder.stream("orders");

KTable<String, Long> orderCounts = orders
  .groupBy((key, order) -> order.getCustomerId())
  .count();

orderCounts.toStream().to("customer_order_counts");

When to use: Simple transformations, already using Kafka, Java/Scala team

2. Apache Flink (Most Powerful)

Pros:

• True streaming (not micro-batches)
• Complex event processing
• Exactly-once guarantees
• SQL support

Example:

-- Flink SQL: Revenue per product category, 5-minute windows
SELECT
  product_category,
  TUMBLE_END(order_time, INTERVAL '5' MINUTE) as window_end,
  SUM(total_amount) as revenue
FROM orders
GROUP BY
  product_category,
  TUMBLE(order_time, INTERVAL '5' MINUTE);

When to use: Complex analytics, need exactly-once, large scale

3. Spark Streaming (Micro-batches)

Pros:

• Unified batch + streaming code
• Scala/Python/Java
• Large ecosystem

Cons:

• Micro-batches (not true streaming)
• Higher latency than Flink (seconds vs milliseconds)

When to use: Already using Spark for batch, need hybrid

Comparison:

Carptech Recommendation:

• Starting out: Kafka Streams
• Need power: Flink
• Already Spark: Spark Streaming

Implementation

Step 1: CDC Setup (Debezium)

# Deploy Debezium connector
curl -X POST http://debezium:8083/connectors \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "ecommerce-postgres-connector",
    "config": {
      "connector.class": "io.debezium.connector.postgresql.PostgresConnector",
      "database.hostname": "postgres",
      "database.port": "5432",
      "database.user": "debezium",
      "database.password": "password",
      "database.dbname": "ecommerce",
      "database.server.name": "ecommerce_db",
      "table.include.list": "public.orders,public.order_items,public.inventory",
      "plugin.name": "pgoutput"
    }
  }'

Kafka topics created automatically:

• ecommerce_db.public.orders
• ecommerce_db.public.order_items
• ecommerce_db.public.inventory

Step 2: Real-time Inventory (Flink Job)

-- Flink SQL job
CREATE TABLE orders (
  order_id BIGINT,
  product_id BIGINT,
  quantity INT,
  order_time TIMESTAMP(3),
  WATERMARK FOR order_time AS order_time - INTERVAL '5' SECOND
) WITH (
  'connector' = 'kafka',
  'topic' = 'ecommerce_db.public.orders',
  'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'kafka:9092',
  'format' = 'debezium-json'
);

CREATE TABLE inventory_updates (
  product_id BIGINT,
  quantity_sold INT,
  last_update TIMESTAMP(3)
) WITH (
  'connector' = 'redis',
  'host' = 'redis',
  'port' = '6379'
);

-- Update inventory in real-time
INSERT INTO inventory_updates
SELECT
  product_id,
  SUM(quantity) as quantity_sold,
  MAX(order_time) as last_update
FROM orders
GROUP BY product_id;

Website reads from Redis:

# Python web app
import redis

r = redis.Redis(host='redis', port=6379)

def get_available_inventory(product_id):
    # Initial inventory from database
    initial_inventory = db.query(
        f"SELECT quantity FROM inventory WHERE product_id = {product_id}"
    )

    # Real-time sold quantity from Redis
    quantity_sold = r.get(f"product:{product_id}:quantity_sold") or 0

    # Available = Initial - Sold
    available = initial_inventory - int(quantity_sold)

    return max(0, available)  # Don't show negative

Step 3: Fraud Detection (Flink Job)

-- Detect suspicious orders
CREATE TABLE orders_enriched (
  order_id BIGINT,
  customer_id BIGINT,
  total_amount DECIMAL(10,2),
  customer_country STRING,
  ip_country STRING,
  order_time TIMESTAMP(3)
) WITH (...);

CREATE TABLE fraud_alerts (
  order_id BIGINT,
  reason STRING,
  risk_score DOUBLE,
  detected_at TIMESTAMP(3)
) WITH (
  'connector' = 'jdbc',
  'url' = 'jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/ecommerce',
  'table-name' = 'fraud_alerts'
);

-- Flag suspicious orders
INSERT INTO fraud_alerts
SELECT
  order_id,
  'country_mismatch' as reason,
  1.0 as risk_score,
  order_time as detected_at
FROM orders_enriched
WHERE customer_country != ip_country
  AND total_amount > 500;  -- High-value order from different country

Step 4: Real-time Revenue Dashboard (Flink → BigQuery)

-- Calculate revenue metrics in real-time
CREATE TABLE revenue_metrics (
  metric_time TIMESTAMP(3),
  revenue_1min DECIMAL(12,2),
  revenue_5min DECIMAL(12,2),
  revenue_1hour DECIMAL(12,2),
  order_count_1min BIGINT
) WITH (
  'connector' = 'bigquery',
  'project' = 'my-gcp-project',
  'dataset' = 'analytics',
  'table' = 'real_time_revenue'
);

INSERT INTO revenue_metrics
SELECT
  TUMBLE_END(order_time, INTERVAL '1' MINUTE) as metric_time,
  SUM(total_amount) as revenue_1min,
  SUM(total_amount) OVER (ORDER BY TUMBLE_END(order_time, INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)
    ROWS BETWEEN 4 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) as revenue_5min,
  SUM(total_amount) OVER (ORDER BY TUMBLE_END(order_time, INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)
    ROWS BETWEEN 59 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) as revenue_1hour,
  COUNT(*) as order_count_1min
FROM orders
GROUP BY TUMBLE(order_time, INTERVAL '1' MINUTE);

Looker Dashboard:

-- Query BigQuery for dashboard
SELECT
  metric_time,
  revenue_1min,
  revenue_1hour
FROM analytics.real_time_revenue
WHERE metric_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR)
ORDER BY metric_time DESC;

Results

Metrics:

• Latency: CDC to dashboard < 30 seconds
• Accuracy: Inventory updates within 5 seconds
• Fraud detection: Alerts within 10 seconds of order
• Throughput: 10,000 orders/second

Business Impact:

• ✅ Reduced overselling by 95%
• ✅ Blocked $50K fraud per month
• ✅ CEO sees revenue real-time (vs. next day before)
• ✅ Personalization improved conversion by 12%

Cost Comparison: Batch vs Streaming

Scenario: E-commerce company, 1M orders/day

Batch Processing Costs

Infrastructure:

• Airflow server: $200/month (1 medium instance)
• Data warehouse (BigQuery): $500/month (batch queries)
• Total: $700/month

Latency: 12-24 hours

Streaming Processing Costs

Infrastructure:

• Kafka cluster (Confluent Cloud): $2,000/month (3 brokers, basic tier)
• Flink cluster (self-hosted): $1,500/month (3 task managers)
• Real-time database (Redis): $300/month
• Data warehouse (BigQuery streaming): $1,200/month
• Total: $5,000/month

Latency: < 1 minute

Cost Analysis

Streaming is 7x more expensive ($5K vs $700)

But:

• If real-time prevents $10K fraud/month → ROI positive
• If real-time increases conversion 5% → Revenue +$50K/month → ROI very positive
• If real-time enables new products → Priceless

Key Question: "Is the business value of < 1 minute latency worth $4,300/month extra cost?"

For most companies:

• Start with batch ($700/month)
• Add streaming only for critical use cases (fraud, inventory)
• Hybrid: Batch for analytics, streaming for operations

Migration Path: From Batch to Streaming

Don't do big bang migration. Add streaming incrementally.

Phase 1: Assessment (Month 1)

Questions to answer:

• Which use cases need < 1 hour latency?
• Current batch jobs: Which can't wait til tomorrow?
• Infrastructure: Do we have Kafka expertise?
• Budget: Can we afford 5-10x higher cost?

Output: Prioritized list of streaming use cases

Phase 2: Proof of Concept (Month 2-3)

Pick 1 simple use case:

• Real-time inventory or
• Fraud detection or
• Operational dashboard

Setup:

• Deploy Kafka (Confluent Cloud trial / MSK)
• Implement CDC với Debezium
• Build simple Flink/Kafka Streams job
• Compare với batch: latency, accuracy

Success criteria:

• Latency < 1 minute achieved
• Data accuracy 99%+
• Team comfortable with tools

Phase 3: Production Rollout (Month 4-6)

Production-ize POC:

• Monitoring: Kafka lag, Flink backpressure
• Alerting: PagerDuty integration
• Disaster recovery: Kafka backups, Flink checkpoints
• Documentation: Runbooks

Add 2-3 more use cases:

• Iterate on learnings from POC

Phase 4: Scale (Month 7-12)

Expand streaming:

• More data sources
• More consumers
• More complex stream processing

Optimize:

• Right-size Kafka cluster
• Tune Flink job parallelism
• Cost optimization

Maintain batch:

• Keep batch for historical analysis, ML training
• Streaming augments, doesn't replace

Kết Luận

Real-time data pipelines are powerful, nhưng không phải silver bullet.

Key Takeaways:

1. Real-time is requirement, not luxury

   • E-commerce, fintech, logistics cần real-time
   • Nhưng not everything needs real-time

2. Hybrid architecture is reality

   • Streaming: Operational use cases (< 1 minute)
   • Batch: Historical analysis, reporting

3. CDC is foundation

   • Debezium + Kafka = standard approach
   • Low-latency, low-impact database replication

4. Kafka is backbone

   • Distributed, scalable event streaming
   • Confluent Cloud for managed, MSK for AWS, self-hosted for expertise

5. Stream processing transforms data

   • Flink for power
   • Kafka Streams for simplicity
   • Spark Streaming for hybrid

6. Cost is 5-10x higher than batch

   • Must justify with business value
   • Fraud prevention, revenue increase, new products

7. Migrate incrementally

   • POC → Production → Scale
   • Don't replace batch, augment it

What Should You Do Next?

If you're:

• ✅ 100% batch today: Assess if any use cases need real-time
• ✅ Considering streaming: Start with POC (Kafka + Debezium + simple job)
• ✅ Have streaming: Optimize costs, expand use cases

Action Plan:

1. List top 10 data use cases
2. For each, ask: "Cost of 1-hour latency?"
3. If cost > $5K/month → streaming candidate
4. POC with highest-value use case
5. Measure: latency, cost, business impact
6. Scale if ROI positive
