The primary purpose of this DAG is to facilitate real-time monitoring of operational data within the retail e-commerce sector, enabling businesses to react promptly to incidents that may disrupt supply and demand forecasting. The architecture comprises several key components, starting with the ingestion of operational data from various sources such as transaction logs, inventory databases, and customer activity records. This data is processed through a series of transformation steps that include applying monitoring rules to detect anomalies and incidents. Quality controls are integrated into the pipeline to validate data integrity, ensuring that only reliable data is utilized for decision-making. Upon detecting an incident, the system generates alerts that are communicated to the relevant teams, allowing for immediate action. The outputs of this DAG include incident reports, alert notifications, and quality assessment metrics. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as incident response time, alert accuracy, and data quality scores provides insights into the effectiveness of the monitoring process. The business value lies in minimizing operational disruptions, enhancing customer satisfaction, and optimizing inventory management, ultimately leading to improved sales performance and operational efficiency.
