๐Ÿš€ Get Started: Benefit from MongoDB Operational Data Layer (ODL)

Operational Data Layer (ODL) Benefit:

๐Ÿ’Ž Single Source of Truth: Provides a unified data repository for the organization.

๐Ÿ” Real-Time Analytics: Enables real-time data analysis and decision-making.

๐Ÿ”„ Gradual Refactoring: Allows incremental data model changes without disrupting existing systems.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Minimizes Disruption: Isolates changes, reducing impact on production systems.

๐Ÿ”’ Isolated from Raw Customer Data: Separates sensitive data from operational data.

๐ŸŒ Fulfill GDPR: Ensures compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.

๐Ÿ” Fulfill PII: Manages personally identifiable information securely.



What an Operational Data Layer (ODL) Can Do? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ’พ Change Data Capture (CDC): Capture changes to the data in real-time or near-real-time, allowing for efficient updates and synchronization between different systems.

๐Ÿšฎ Remove Useless Data: Help identify and remove irrelevant or redundant data, optimizing storage and processing resources.

๐Ÿ“Š Read-Heavy Operations for Analytics, Historical Data: Serve as a dedicated layer for analytical and historical data, allowing for efficient and high-performance read operations to support advanced analytics and reporting.

๐Ÿ”– Add Metadata to Record: Enrich the data with additional metadata, such as timestamps, source information, or data quality metrics, to provide more context and enhance the overall data quality.

๐Ÿ” Merge Data to Single Customer View for Advanced Analytics: Consolidate and integrate data from multiple sources to create a unified, 360-degree view of the customer, enabling more advanced analytics and personalized experiences.

๐Ÿ’ณ Determine Spending on Each Category: Analyze and categorize customer spending patterns, allowing businesses to better understand their customers' behaviors and preferences.

๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Real-Time View: Reduced application complexity - read & write operations together.

๐Ÿ’ซ Delta Load Mechanism: Identify and load only the changes or "deltas" in the data, instead of re-loading the entire dataset, making the data integration process more efficient.



MongoDB App Services: ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿ”„ Atlas Device Sync: Synchronize data between client apps and MongoDB Atlas, enabling offline-first mobile and web applications.

โšก Serverless Cloud Functions: Run custom server-side logic in the cloud without managing any infrastructure.

๐Ÿ”’ Declarative Access Rules: Define fine-grained access controls for your data, ensuring secure data access.

๐Ÿ” Flexible Data API: Efficiently query, filter, and manipulate your MongoDB Atlas data through a RESTful interface.

๐Ÿ”— GraphQL API: Fetch and manipulate data efficiently using a powerful query language and runtime.



MongoDB App Services Advantage: ๐Ÿ’ช

  • Write & host an application in a fully managed cloud environment
  • Bring products to market faster
  • Control data access using rules: existing authentication systems
  • Enrich data for application requirement



Operational Data Layer Real-World Use Case: ๐ŸŒ

Situation: Cloud-based HR and financial solutions

Before: ๐Ÿ’ธ Landing pages required 15 or more expensive queries to present a single view to the customer of their personal accounts, savings, mortgages.

After: ๐Ÿ’ฐ Serve single query by ODL, cut cost, fulfill PSD2 payments services.

Advantage: โฑ๏ธ Save administration operation time.
