Currently, Synthesis has set up a UAT environment and it is ready to deploy, to production with automated CI\/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform. Next, new workloads will go into a strategic AWS Lakehouse architecture. \u00a0Synthesis is working to create a data mesh-based architecture which will decouple data management from a central team making data more accessible, scalable and describable in house with greater throughput while adhering to the bank&#8217;s strict privacy and security regulations. \u00a0Synthesis is creating a visualisation layer which orchestrates the data so the Bank\u2019s data analysts only have access to the relevant and correct data. It also creates agility as the team has easy and fast access to the correct curated data products. The secret sauce is validating data quality and schema at source solving an age-old problem of complete and accurate data. \u00a0A data lake allows all the data to be centralised with a central team managing reliability, governance and security with decentralised teams managing their own data and access. A distributed model will allow the data to be quickly and easily distributed. This ensures the Bank is receiving data-driven value at scale in a federated way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column
