Decouple Data Producers and Consumers Use message queues like Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ to buffer data and allow asynchronous communication. This reduces the chance of data loss and system overload. Stream Over Batch For HealthTech, latency is critical. Replace batch ETL jobs with stream processing frameworks like Apache Flink or Kafka Streams to handle real-time transformation. Implement Fault Tolerance Use checkpointing and exactly-once semantics to prevent data duplication or loss. Design for data replay in case of failure.

Scale Horizontally Use container orchestration tools like Kubernetes to scale your data pipeline components dynamically. Break down monoliths into microservices to isolate processing responsibilities. Optimize for Low Latency Minimize transformations during the ingestion phase.

Reduce serialization/deserialization overhead with efficient formats like Apache Avro or Protobuf. Deploy edge processing for time-critical data (e.g., patient vitals). Secure and Comply

Ensure pipelines comply with standards like HIPAA and GDPR.

Encrypt data in transit and at rest.

Use access controls and audit logs to track data lineage.
