Service scope

What Our Data Pipeline Engineering Service Includes

Stralya’s Data Pipeline Engineering (ETL/ELT) service is designed for organisations that treat data as a strategic asset. From startups building their first analytics stack to large enterprises modernising legacy reporting, we provide a complete, cloud-native foundation for trustworthy, real-time data.

Core components of the service

Optional add-ons

Every engagement is tailored to your context, maturity level and internal resources. We can operate as your end-to-end data engineering partner or integrate with your existing teams, always under a clear, fixed-price project framework.

Designed for CTOs, Digital Leaders and Data Owners in the GCC

Aligned with strategic business goals
We start from your business objectives and KPIs, not from tools. Whether your priority is executive reporting, regulatory compliance or customer personalisation, we design pipelines that directly support those outcomes.
Built for high-stakes environments
Government entities, financial institutions and fast-growing scale-ups in Dubai require uncompromising reliability and security. Our engineering practices, reviews and documentation reflect that level of expectation.
Scalable as your digital footprint grows
We design architectures that can support more data sources, higher volumes and new regions without rework. This future-proof approach protects your investment and shortens time-to-market for new initiatives.
A long-term, accountable partner
Stralya’s mission is to secure and structure complex digital projects in the Middle East. We stay engaged beyond go-live, ensuring your pipelines continue to deliver value as your organisation evolves.

How we build your data pipelines

A Structured, Fixed-Price Approach to ETL/ELT Delivery

Every data environment is unique, but successful pipelines share the same foundations: clear business objectives, robust architecture and disciplined operations. Stralya combines Dubai market proximity with international data engineering standards to deliver ETL/ELT projects that are scoped, predictable and maintainable.

We do not simply connect tools together. We design your data flows as a long-term asset, with governance, documentation and handover built in from day one.

We start with your objectives: which decisions need to be supported, which dashboards must be trusted, and which systems are in scope. Together with your CTO, data owners and business stakeholders, we map data sources, consumers and constraints (latency, SLAs, compliance, budgets). This phase ends with a clear, documented scope and success criteria.
Based on your cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP or hybrid), we design a target architecture: ingestion strategy, storage layers (data lake, data warehouse), transformation approach (ETL vs ELT) and orchestration. We select or integrate tools such as Airflow, dbt, Fivetran, Airbyte or cloud-native services, and define your core data models and naming conventions.
We implement connectors to your operational systems (web apps, databases, SaaS tools, third-party APIs), define transformations, and build reusable data models. Code is versioned, reviewed and tested. We enforce data quality checks, schema validation and error handling so that failures are visible and manageable instead of silent and dangerous.
We integrate logging, metrics, tracing and alerting so that your team knows when something breaks – before the business does. Access controls, encryption, masking and role-based permissions are implemented in line with your security policies and regional regulations. We also define runbooks and incident procedures for your operations team.
At the end of the project, you receive full documentation, diagrams and configuration details. We train your internal team or continue as a long-term partner via a tailored SLA, handling evolutions, new data sources and performance tuning as your digital footprint grows across the UAE and GCC.

Popular Questions

Find Commonly Asked Questions

If your business relies on accurate dashboards, regulatory reporting, or personalised customer experiences, then yes. Manual exports and ad-hoc scripts do not scale and are extremely fragile. A dedicated ETL/ELT pipeline ensures that your data is consistently ingested, cleaned and modelled so that your teams can trust what they see – every day.
Absolutely. We frequently integrate with existing warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure Synapse, PostgreSQL) and BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Metabase). We can stabilise and refactor your current pipelines, or design new ones around your existing investments so you get more value without starting from zero.
We operate primarily on a fixed-price, project-based model. After the discovery phase, we provide a detailed scope, architecture proposal, delivery plan and a fixed budget. This gives you full visibility on costs and timelines, while we take responsibility for delivering the agreed outcomes.
Yes. A significant part of our work in the region involves taking over incomplete or unstable projects. We audit your current architecture, codebase and operations, then propose a stabilisation and remediation plan. Once the platform is stable, we can extend it with new pipelines and capabilities.
We are cloud-native and work mainly with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. On the data side, we commonly use services and tools such as Airflow, dbt, Fivetran, Airbyte, Kafka, Kinesis, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, PostgreSQL and managed warehouse solutions, always selecting the stack that best fits your constraints and internal skills.
Yes. We can set up a tailored SLA to monitor, maintain and evolve your data pipelines. This can include on-call support, incident response, performance optimisation and the onboarding of new data sources as your organisation grows across the UAE and GCC.
