HelloDATA BE: Open-Source Enterprise Data Platform

The Open Enterprise Data Platform in a Single Portal

HelloDATA BE integrates the prowess of open-source tools into a unified, enterprise-grade data platform. It simplifies end-to-end data engineering by converging tools like dbt, Airflow, and Superset, anchored on a robust Postgres database. Our platform encapsulates the agility of open source with the dependability of enterprise solutions, streamlining your data workflow in one accessible portal.

Vision and Goal

Agile and transparent data platforms are vital in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. HelloDATA BE tries to help by offering an open-source solution tailored to enterprise needs. Our mission is to democratize data and provide end-to-end- innovation-driven data handling. Learn More.

  1. Docker Desktop Settings: For Mac users, adjust Docker Desktop settings for multi-platform support (especially for arm64-chip users). Details.
  2. Hosts File Entry: Ensure 127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal is added to /etc/hosts. For Windows enable in Docker Desktop WSL settings How to.

Start-Up Instructions

Change directory to hello-data-deployment/docker-compose and run:

docker-compose up -d

Pulling all images and starting up the containers will take a while. Once completed, access the web portal at localhost:8080 (default: admin/admin).

Domain View: Business and Data Domains

The different views are a vital aspect of the HelloDATA BE. Adding multiple business domains with n data domains makes it enterprise-ready out of the box.

  • Business Domain: Core services, including portal, orchestration, and monitoring.
  • Data Domain: The heart of data storage, encompassing tables/schemas, dbt data models, data marts, DWH environments, and more.

Multiple Data Domains coexist in each business domain, each with dedicated storage and specialized data models. Dive Deeper. Also, check the User Manual for a detailed functional overview.
