Building Real-Time Data Pipelines

When You Need Real-Time

Most retail data use cases work fine with daily/hourly refresh from Product Data Scrape. You need real-time when:

• Tracking flash sales (lightning deals, doorbusters)
• Stockout alerts for replenishment teams
• Price-match automation
• Live competitive monitoring during high-stakes events

Architecture: Product Data Scrape Webhooks → Kafka → Warehouse

[Product Data Scrape API] → [Webhook] → [Kafka] → [Stream processor] → [Warehouse + Cache]

Stockout Alert Example

from kafka import KafkaConsumer

consumer = KafkaConsumer(
    "product-updates",
    bootstrap_servers=["localhost:9092"],
    value_deserializer=lambda v: json.loads(v.decode("utf-8")),
)

for message in consumer:
    product = message.value
    if product["availability"] == "out_of_stock":
        send_slack_alert(
            channel="#stockouts",
            message=f"{product['title']} is OOS on {product['retailer']}"
        )
