Optimizing data load patterns: Architectural strategies for scalable enterprise analytics pipelines

Kothamasu, Lakshmi Srinivasarao (2025) Optimizing data load patterns: Architectural strategies for scalable enterprise analytics pipelines. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 15 (2). pp. 1729-1737. ISSN 2582-8266

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of data loading patterns that form the backbone of modern analytical pipelines in enterprise environments. As organizations increasingly depend on data-driven decision making, the selection of appropriate ingestion methodologies becomes critical for balancing processing efficiency, data freshness, and system scalability. The article examines three fundamental loading patterns—batch, stream/continuous, and micro-batch—evaluating their architectural implications, performance characteristics, and optimal use cases. The article demonstrates that while batch processing continues to offer robust solutions for comprehensive analytical workloads, streaming architectures deliver crucial real-time insights, with micro-batch approaches emerging as an effective hybrid solution for organizations with diverse analytical requirements. The article presented guides practitioners in strategically selecting loading patterns that align with specific business objectives, data volumes, and latency requirements. This article contributes to the evolving discourse on scalable data infrastructure design by emphasizing the importance of intentional loading pattern selection as a foundational element of successful analytical ecosystems.
