Event-Driven Cloud-Native Data Warehousing: A Microservices-Oriented Architecture For Scalable And Resilient Analytics

Dr. Quentin Rousseau , Department of Information Systems, University of Szeged, Hungary

Abstract

The accelerating digitalization of organizational processes has intensified the demand for data warehousing systems that are not only scalable and performant but also resilient, adaptive, and capable of operating within highly distributed cloud-native environments. Traditional centralized data warehouse architectures, originally conceived for relatively stable enterprise settings, have proven increasingly inadequate in the face of event-driven, microservice-oriented systems characterized by volatile workloads, heterogeneous data sources, and dynamic orchestration requirements. This article develops a comprehensive theoretical and methodological framework for architecting modern cloud-native data warehouses that integrate event-driven microservices, adaptive resilience strategies, and advanced analytical platforms such as Amazon Redshift, as articulated in contemporary practitioner and scholarly literature (Worlikar et al., 2025). Drawing upon a diverse corpus of research spanning event-driven architectures, observability, distributed systems theory, microservice resilience, and cloud database management, the study advances a holistic model that positions data warehousing not merely as a storage or reporting function but as an active, continuously evolving participant in enterprise digital ecosystems (Brewer, 2020; Fowler, 2018; George & Ruland, 2020).

The article argues that the convergence of event-driven microservices and cloud data warehousing demands a fundamental reconceptualization of how data ingestion, transformation, governance, and analytics are designed and governed. Rather than treating the data warehouse as an endpoint in a batch-oriented pipeline, the proposed framework conceptualizes it as an event-aware analytical hub capable of responding to, and co-evolving with, operational microservices in near real time (Bhatnagar et al., 2020; Chakrabarti & Bhat, 2019). This reconceptualization is grounded in adaptive resilience theory, which emphasizes dynamic orchestration, auto-scaling, and fault-tolerant resource allocation as foundational principles of cloud-native systems (Vangala, 2018; Punitha & Goldena, 2018).

Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative, design-oriented research approach that synthesizes architectural patterns, empirical insights from distributed systems research, and detailed practitioner guidance from modern data warehousing platforms (Worlikar et al., 2025). Through an interpretive analysis of the literature, it derives a set of architectural principles and operational practices for integrating event-driven microservices with cloud data warehouses. The results highlight how materialized views, event streams, and observability frameworks can be orchestrated to achieve both analytical consistency and operational agility in complex cloud environments (Databricks, 2023; Brown & McNamara, 2020).

The discussion situates these findings within broader debates on the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance, as well as the organizational implications of adopting event-driven data architectures (Brewer, 2020; Evans, 2004). It also critically examines the limitations of current tooling and governance models, proposing avenues for future research into autonomous data platforms, AI-assisted orchestration, and socio-technical alignment. By synthesizing microservices theory, event-driven design, and cloud data warehousing practice, this article contributes a robust, theoretically grounded blueprint for building resilient, scalable, and analytically powerful data infrastructures in the cloud era (Worlikar et al., 2025; Eger, 2020).
