Abstract

As financial data management changes quickly, it has become imperative to have a scalable framework that adapts to these transformations and can support real-time risk scoring in data lake applications. Batch processing-based traditional ETL pipelines rarely deliver the agility and complexity required to handle today's financial transactions, especially when connecting subledger systems with external market feeds. This research focuses on the design and development of a cloud ETL architecture on Azure with PySpark and SQL to facilitate the integration of structured and unstructured data streams. The industry reports show that global investments in financial data lakes are more than $12 billion, with more than 70% of financial institutions emphasizing the importance of data architect positions for ensuring resilience and compliance. The proposed solution reads subledger data and market feed and applies adaptive transformations to cleanse, normalize and enrich the data in a centralized data lake. The results show an increase in fraud detection accuracy, a decrease in time spent assessing a credit risk, and easy integration with BI dashboards for real-time data visualization. The adaptive ETL design also complies with the requirements of IFRS 9 and Basel III for schema evolution, scalability and regulatory transparency. This framework connects operational data and analytical intelligence, providing a strategic platform for financial institutions to become resilient, compliant, and competitive in the data-driven economy.
