Case Study

Challenge

A regional bank's regulatory reporting relied on nightly batch jobs across a fragmented mainframe and on-prem SQL Server estate, with reporting lag that put compliance deadlines at risk.

Solution

Migrated core reporting pipelines to a governed Snowflake lakehouse orchestrated by Airflow and dbt, with CDC ingestion from the mainframe replacing nightly batch extracts.

Architecture

  • CDC ingestion layer for mainframe and SQL Server sources
  • dbt-managed transformation layer with automated testing
  • Snowflake as the governed single source of truth
  • Power BI semantic layer for regulatory and executive reporting
