1. Real-Time Anomaly Detection with BigQuery Stored Procedures

    Python

    Real-time anomaly detection typically involves examining streaming data to identify unusual patterns or outliers that could indicate errors, fraud, or other significant events. Google BigQuery is a powerful data warehouse that supports complex analytical queries and comes with a feature known as "Stored Procedures," which allows users to write procedural logic using SQL to perform operations like loops, variables, conditional execution, and error handling within BigQuery.

    To set up real-time anomaly detection using BigQuery and stored procedures, you will need to perform the following steps:

    1. Stream data into BigQuery: Capture your real-time data and insert it into BigQuery tables. You can do this directly using BigQuery's streaming API or use a service that integrates with BigQuery like Pub/Sub for data ingestion.

    2. Analyze streaming data: Write SQL queries to analyze the incoming stream for anomalies. This might involve statistical analysis, comparison with historical data, or machine learning models.

    3. Create stored procedures: Once you've defined your analytics logic, you encapsulate them within stored procedures. These procedures can be invoked regularly or triggered by events within BigQuery.

    4. Respond to anomalies: After detecting anomalies, you might want to take some action, such as sending an alert, kicking off additional workflows, or storing the incidents for further investigation.

    Here is a Pulumi Python program that sets up a BigQuery dataset and table to accept streaming data, along with a placeholder for creating a stored procedure for anomaly detection.

    import pulumi import pulumi_gcp as gcp # Create a BigQuery dataset to house your tables and stored procedures dataset = gcp.bigquery.Dataset("anomaly_detection_dataset", description="Dataset for real-time anomaly detection with stored procedures" ) # Create a BigQuery table within the dataset to receive the real-time streaming data # Note: The schema can vary according to the data structure you expect to receive table = gcp.bigquery.Table("anomaly_detection_table", dataset_id=dataset.dataset_id, schema="""[ { "name": "transaction_id", "type": "STRING", "mode": "REQUIRED" }, { "name": "timestamp", "type": "TIMESTAMP", "mode": "REQUIRED" }, { "name": "amount", "type": "FLOAT", "mode": "REQUIRED" } ]""" ) # Create a stored procedure placeholder for anomaly detection. # You will need to replace the SQL body with the actual logic for anomaly detection. # Keep in mind that Pulumi doesn't have first-class support for creating stored procedures in BigQuery, # so the body of the stored procedure should be managed as part of a separate deployment process, # potentially with an additional script or manual operation. stored_procedure = gcp.bigquery.Routine("anomaly_detection_routine", dataset_id=dataset.dataset_id, routine_id="detect_anomalies", routine_type="PROCEDURE", definition_body=""" -- Replace with your custom SQL logic for anomaly detection. -- For example: -- CREATE PROCEDURE dataset.detect_anomalies() -- BEGIN -- ... (anomaly detection logic here) -- END; -- Note: This should be executed within the BigQuery environment. """ ) # Export the dataset and table identifiers for reference. pulumi.export('dataset_id', dataset.dataset_id) pulumi.export('table_id', table.table_id)

    Please replace the definition_body of the stored_procedure resource with the actual SQL logic you intend to use for anomaly detection. The example above does not contain actual logic as building those queries often requires a deep understanding of the specific data and the nature of anomalies one is looking to detect.

    In a real-world setup, you would also include the actual logic for streaming data into the anomaly_detection_table and the triggers or events that would call the detect_anomalies stored procedure in real-time. However, Pulumi does not manage these operational aspects (like inserting data or triggering events from BigQuery)—they would need to be implemented through your application logic or a separate automation process.
