Lodging Data Platform
Publication date: October 7, 2022 (Diagram history)
With this architecture, you can build a data platform that serves both operational and analytics needs for lodging companies. Use open data standards and separate storage from compute. You use Amazon Simple Storage Service for the data lake, Amazon DynamoDB for operational data, and Amazon SageMaker AI for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models.
Lodging data platform diagram
The following steps describe the architecture:
-
Build basic data as a service with the most important domains: properties, reservations, stays, and loyalty. Separate storage from compute as a key design tenet.
-
Use purpose-built databases and serverless architecture to deliver microservices and events for the operational data store. Use DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, and AWS Step Functions to scale based on adoption. Replace expensive on-premises operational databases and service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure.
-
Use open standards to build the data lake with the same data as the operational platform. Use a read pattern schema to make raw and curated data available for all user roles. Process data by using AWS Glue and Amazon EMR.
-
Build standard enterprise data warehouse schemas and data marts in Amazon Redshift for known usage patterns. For one-time requirements, publish the data catalog and use Amazon Athena for analysis directly from the data lake.
-
Use SageMaker AI to provide standard AI and ML models for customer segmentation and lifetime value. Build custom models on top of the data.
