About This Architecture
SAP S/4HANA data flows into Google Cloud Platform via dual-path ingestion using Cloud Dataflow for batch and Cloud Pub/Sub for streaming, feeding a multi-tier BigQuery data lake architecture. ETL processing stages—row-level transform, cleansing, conformance, and aggregation—progressively refine data across raw, curated, and aggregated tiers, with Dataplex providing unified governance and metadata management. AI-assisted development through Gemini AI and GitHub Copilot accelerates transformation logic and semantic modeling, while the serving layer exports business-ready facts and dimensions to Power BI's semantic model for analytics. This architecture demonstrates modern cloud-native ELT patterns with built-in AI acceleration, enabling organizations to modernize legacy SAP systems with scalable, governed data pipelines.
