This disclosure generally relates to data processing, and, more particularly, to methods and apparatuses for implementing a platform, language, cloud, and database agnostic model driven data platform with no code or low code data warehouse.
The developments described in this section are known to the inventors. However, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the developments described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section, or that these developments are known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
Today, a wide variety of business functions are commonly supported by software applications and tools, i.e., business intelligence (BI) tools. For instance, software has been directed to performance analysis, report generation, project tracking, and competitive analysis, to name but a few. In general, large enterprises, corporations, agencies, institutions, and other organizations are facing a continuing problem of handling, processing, and/or accurately describing a vast amount of data that are crucial to plan actions in an efficient and expedited manner.
For example, identity management, also known as Identity and Access Management (JAM), is a framework of policies and technologies to ensure that the right users have the appropriate access to technology resources. In delivering reports (e.g., IAM reports) at scale, conventional approach involves bespoke logic and engineering for each new report, which may prove to be manually intensive, time consuming, and error prone. For example, an SOC (System and Organization Controls) 1 report may focus on outsourced services that could impact a company's financial reporting. By providing a SOC 1 report from a third-party, companies may effectively communicate information about their risk management and controls framework to multiple stakeholders. However, audit nature of the IAM domain may require time consuming SOC1 approval for each report. Moreover, there may be a situation for data duplication and duplicate efforts (bespoke warehouses) by each domain area for reports.
Thus, there is a need for an advanced method and tools that can address these conventional shortcomings corresponding to data reports.

Even further, the application(s) may be operative in a cloud-based computing environment. The application(s) may be executed within or as virtual machine(s) or virtual server(s) that may be managed in a cloud-based computing environment. Also, the application(s), and even the MDDPD 202 itself, may be located in virtual server(s) running in a cloud-based computing environment rather than being tied to one or more specific physical network computing devices. Also, the application(s) may be running in one or more virtual machines (VMs) executing on the MDDPD 202. Additionally, in one or more embodiments of this technology, virtual machine(s) running on the MDDPD 202 may be managed or supervised by a hypervisor.
In the network environment 200 of

In one particular example, the MDDPD 202 may be hosted by one of the server devices 204(1)-204(n), and other arrangements are also possible. Moreover, one or more of the devices of the MDDPD 202 may be in the same or a different communication network including one or more public, private, or cloud networks, for example.
The plurality of server devices 204(1)-204(n) may be the same or similar to the computer system 102 or the computer device 120 as described with respect to

Then the second serverless data integration platform 618(2) is triggered by utilizing the hydration API 636. The second serverless data integration platform 618(2) reads the data from the primary database 612. UI interface 630 may be utilized to send data from the API interface 632 received from the text search engine 626 and the first serverless database 622(1) to a user 601. The user 601 may be a client for an organization.

According to exemplary embodiments, metadata is utilized to persist report onboarding and execution data between the reports API 640 and the second serverless database 622(2). According to exemplary embodiments, data warehouse job ingestion metadata is utilized while data is flowing between the hydration API 636 and the second serverless database 622(2). Data output from the data analyzer 638 may include report query execution results. The report query execution results may be stored onto the user reports database 644 via the reports API 640.

Data set 830 is onboarded onto data definition and modeling 832 block. Data from the data definition and modeling 832 block flows to data onboard 824 withing the data platform 807. Data from the data definition and modeling 832 block also flows to publish data 834 block which sends data for completeness check 836 block and the database(s) 826. Data may bidirectionally flow between the completeness check 836 block with the data service 809 and the completeness check service 828 within the data platform 807. The database(s) 826 may receive data from the data onboard 824 and sends to hydrate 816 and completeness check service 828. Data also flows from the data onboard 824 to the system tables. The system tables 814 may be generated from public cloud log files to provide a history of the system. These system tables 814 may be virtual system tables that may contain snapshots of the current system data based on data received from hydrate 816.
According to exemplary embodiments, onboard request 808 is being made by the report designer 803 upon which data flows from the define SQL 810 block to test SQL 812 block (both of which are implemented within the report designer 803 block) and then to report onboarding 818 block implemented within the data warehouse 805. SQL (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system, or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system. A report 822 is generated using corresponding UI/API 804 and data received from the report onboarding 818 block by utilizing generate a report block 802. The report execution 820 block implemented within the data warehouse 805 executes and checks status of the report and sends notification to the report user 801 via email 806 or other communication channels disclosed herein.
