Study Notes
Interface Marts
- Interface Mart: A specialized data repository/framework acting as an intermediary layer between systems, applications, or databases. Facilitates data exchange for smooth platform integration. Often used in data integration architectures.
- Growing but slowly
- Typically in third-normal form
Key Features
- Intermediary Data Layer: Bridges source systems (databases, applications, APIs, external APIs) with target systems (analytics tools, data warehouses, operational systems).
- Data Transformation: Standardizes, cleans, enriches data (format conversion, aggregation, mapping) before target system transfer.
- Centralized Access: Provides a central point for system interaction without direct source system connections.
- Lightweight Data Storage: Temporary storage for processing/transfer, not large-scale long-term storage.
- Real-Time/Batch Processing: Supports real-time and batch processing for immediate or periodic updates.
Use Cases
- System Integration: Enables seamless data transfer and formatting when integrating multiple systems like Flow.BI and data warehouse automation tools.
- Data Transformation & Enrichment: Ensures consistency in downstream systems via standardized data from diverse sources.
- APIs & Middleware: Acts as a middleware layer, exposing APIs for external systems to query/update data.
Benefits
- Simplified Integration: Reduces system connection complexity by providing a single integration point.
- Improved Data Quality: Consolidates data cleansing and transformation processes.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Facilitates updates/changes to source/target systems without affecting overall data flow.
- Performance Optimization: Offloads transformation and integration tasks from source/target systems.
Distinctions from Other Marts
- Unlike Information Marts, focused on user reporting/analysis, Interface Marts prioritize integration as a backend utility.
