Operational Bottlenecks in Maritime Freight Routing
Legacy database architecture across regional seaports lacked active Change Data Capture (CDC), creating up to 45-second latency spikes when querying container ship coordinates and cargo manifests.
System Architecture Topology
BigQuery & Airflow CDC Infrastructure
PT Jotara re-architected the maritime data layer using Google Cloud BigQuery and Apache Airflow DAG orchestration:
- Near Real-Time Ingest Pipeline: Streaming Change Data Capture (CDC) events continuously from port edge servers into BigQuery.
- Automated Manifest Consolidation: Dynamic SQL models compiling vessel telemetry, port clearance timestamps, and bill of lading documents under 500ms query SLAs.
- FinOps Cost Optimization: Reduced idle compute cluster spend by 35% through elastic serverless query slots.
