ABC Framework – Audit, Balance & Control for Data Pipelines

Overview: ABC Framework (Audit, Balance & Control) is an ingestion pipeline observability solution providing end-to-end traceability, reconciliation, and compliance. In large-scale estates ingesting from APIs, SFTP, S3, and databases across multiple markets, absence of auditing creates blind spots. ABC layers audit logging, balance checks, and control mechanisms over existing architectures. Deployed across multiple enterprises and proven at scale for a CPG client across 50+ markets and 20+ functional nodes. Part of Coforge Data Cosmos™ – the innovation backbone comprising platforms, agents, and services that accelerates execution across every phase of the data lifecycle.

Three Pillars:

1. Audit Captures execution times, source-to-target mappings, record classifications (inserts, updates, deletes), row counts, and status. Complete traceability. Audit-ready compliance.

2. Balance Reconciliation reports comparing source counts with target loads. Detects completeness gaps, file variation anomalies, and integrity issues with variance reporting.

3. Control Real-time job notifications and alerting. Long-running pipeline detection. Intelligent scheduling suggestions. Sends reports back to source systems.

Business Benefits: • Real-time auditing and control across all ingestion • Automated reconciliation replacing manual validation • Long-running pipeline detection improving performance • Cost-effective — minimal resources, high performance • Proven at scale — 180+ markets for a CPG client

Cloud-Native Deployment on AWS: Deployed on Amazon EKS. Amazon Redshift/Snowflake as target. AWS Glue for metadata. Amazon S3 for audit logs.
