Offering alternative front-end interfaces, a universal integration layer, and AI driven data quality processes. •The objective of this work is to design and assure the solution and data architecture to achieve this overall ambition. •RSSB currently has a data platform hosted in Azure which this would need to align to. This uses FastAPI, Airflow, PostgreSQL, and Power BI. •Part of the technical solution is to have an integration layer to connect front end applications to our Azure data platform, expanding from the current API solution. •This integration layer needs to be highly available, performant, easy to maintain, versioned, and capable of handling data model changes.)
