Implementing robust error handling for failed Snowplow events ensures no data loss and enables systematic reprocessing.
Dead-letter queue setup:
- Use Snowplow's dead-letter queue mechanism to capture failed events during pipeline processing
- Configure automatic routing of malformed or failed events to designated error handling systems
- Implement event classification to categorize different types of failures
Azure Blob Storage integration:
- Configure Snowplow to send failed events to Azure Blob Storage containers
- Set up the collector or enrichment process to route failed events into designated blob containers
- Organize failed events by failure type, timestamp, or processing stage for efficient reprocessing
Automated reprocessing workflows:
- Set up Azure Logic Apps or Azure Functions to monitor blob storage for failed events
- Implement automated reprocessing workflows that attempt to fix common issues and retry processing
- Create manual review processes for events that require human intervention or schema updates
