Building Scalable Big Data Pipelines with Agentic AI

Introduction In today’s data-driven world, organizations face the challenge of processing vast amounts of data efficiently and reliably. Big data pipelines are critical for transforming raw data into actionable insights, but traditional approaches often struggle with scalability, adaptability, and maintenance. Agentic AI—autonomous, goal-oriented systems capable of decision-making and task execution—offers a transformative solution. This chapter explores how to design and implement scalable big data pipelines using agentic AI, focusing on architecture, tools, and best practices. Understanding Big Data Pipelines A big data pipeline is a series of processes that ingest, process, transform, and store large volumes of data. These pipelines typically involve: Data Ingestion : Collecting data from diverse sources (e.g., IoT devices, databases, APIs). Data Processing : Cleaning, transforming, and enriching data for analysis. Data Storage : Storing processed data in scalable systems ...
