Step 3: Deploy Apache Pulsar (High-Performance Message Broker)

cd pulsar-load

# Deploy Pulsar with NVMe storage
./deploy.sh

# Monitor deployment (~10-15 minutes for all components)
kubectl get pods -n pulsar -w

What this deploys:

ZooKeeper (Metadata Management):

3 replicas on t3.medium
Cluster coordination and metadata

Broker-BookKeeper (Combined – NVMe):

6 replicas on i7i.8xlarge instances
Each node: 600GB NVMe SSD (total 3.6TB)
Message routing + persistence
Ultra-low latency (~1ms writes)

Verify Pulsar cluster:

# Check all components are running
kubectl get pods -n pulsar

# Test Pulsar functionality
kubectl exec -n pulsar pulsar-broker-0 -- 
  bin/pulsar-admin topics create persistent://public/default/test-topic

# Verify topic creation
kubectl exec -n pulsar pulsar-broker-0 -- 
  bin/pulsar-admin topics list public/default

Step 4: Deploy ClickHouse (Enterprise Analytics Database)

cd ../clickhouse-load

# Install ClickHouse operator and enterprise cluster
./00-install-clickhouse.sh

# Wait for ClickHouse cluster (~5-8 minutes)
kubectl get pods -n clickhouse -w

# Create enterprise database schema
./00-create-schema-all-replicas.sh

ClickHouse Enterprise Setup:

6 Data Nodes: r6id.4xlarge with NVMe SSD
1 Query Node: r6id.2xlarge for complex analytics
Database: benchmark
Table: sensors_local (optimized for high-throughput writes)
Storage: NVMe SSD + EBS gp3 (enterprise performance)
Replication: 2x across availability zones

Enterprise Schema Example:

-- High-performance sensor data table using AVRO schema
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS benchmark.sensors_local ON CLUSTER iot_cluster (
    sensorId Int32,
    sensorType Int32,
    temperature Float64,
    humidity Float64,
    pressure Float64,
    batteryLevel Float64,
    status Int32,
    timestamp DateTime64(3),
    event_time DateTime64(3) DEFAULT now64()
) ENGINE = ReplicatedMergeTree('/clickhouse/tables/{cluster}/sensors_local', '{replica}')
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (sensorId, timestamp)
SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192;

Test ClickHouse cluster:

# Connect to ClickHouse cluster
kubectl exec -it -n clickhouse chi-iot-cluster-repl-iot-cluster-0-0-0 -- clickhouse-client

# Test cluster connectivity
SELECT * FROM system.clusters WHERE cluster = 'iot_cluster';

# Exit with Ctrl+D

Step 5: Deploy Apache Flink (Enterprise Stream Processing)

cd ../flink-load

# Build and push enterprise Flink image to ECR
./build-and-push.sh

# Deploy Flink enterprise cluster
./deploy.sh

# Submit high-throughput Flink job
kubectl apply -f flink-job-deployment.yaml

# Monitor Flink deployment (~3-5 minutes)
kubectl get pods -n flink-benchmark -w

Enterprise Flink Setup:

JobManager: c5.4xlarge × 1 (job coordination)
TaskManager: c5.4xlarge × 6 (parallel processing)
Parallelism: 48 (8 slots × 6 TaskManagers)
Checkpointing: Every 1 minute to S3
State Backend: RocksDB with NVMe storage

Flink Job Configuration:

// Enterprise-grade stream processing using SensorData AVRO schema
DataStream<SensorRecord> sensorStream = env.fromSource(
    pulsarSource,
    WatermarkStrategy.forBoundedOutOfOrderness(Duration.ofSeconds(5)),
    "Pulsar Enterprise IoT Source"
);

// High-throughput processing with 1-minute windows
sensorStream
    .keyBy(record -> record.getSensorId())
    .window(TumblingEventTimeWindows.of(Time.minutes(1)))
    .aggregate(new EnterpriseAggregator())
    .addSink(new ClickHouseJDBCSink(clickhouseUrl));

Step 6: Deploy High-Volume IoT Producer

cd ../producer-load

# Build and deploy enterprise producer
./deploy.sh

# Scale to generate 1M events/sec (4 nodes × 250K each)
kubectl scale deployment iot-producer -n iot-pipeline --replicas=100

# Monitor producer performance
kubectl get pods -n iot-pipeline -l app=iot-producer

Enterprise Producer Capabilities:

Throughput: 250,000 events/sec per pod
Scale: 100+ pods for 1M+ events/sec
AVRO Schema: Enterprise SensorData with optimized integers
Device Simulation: 100,000 unique device IDs
Realistic Patterns: Battery drain, temperature variations, device lifecycle

📊 Step 7: Verify Enterprise Performance

After all components are deployed (~25-30 minutes total), verify 1M events/sec performance:

# Monitor producer throughput
kubectl logs -n iot-pipeline -l app=iot-producer --tail=20 | grep "Events produced"

# Check Pulsar message ingestion rate
kubectl exec -n pulsar pulsar-broker-0 -- 
  bin/pulsar-admin topics stats persistent://public/default/iot-sensor-data

# Verify Flink processing rate
kubectl logs -n flink-benchmark deployment/iot-flink-job --tail=20

# Query ClickHouse for ingestion rate
kubectl exec -n clickhouse chi-iot-cluster-repl-iot-cluster-0-0-0 -- 
  clickhouse-client --query "
    SELECT 
        toStartOfMinute(timestamp) as minute,
        COUNT(*) as events_per_minute
    FROM benchmark.sensors_local 
    WHERE timestamp >= now() - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE
    GROUP BY minute 
    ORDER BY minute DESC"

Expected Performance Metrics:

✅ Producer: 1,000,000+ events/sec generation
✅ Pulsar: Ultra-low latency message ingestion (~1ms)
✅ Flink: Real-time processing with exactly-once guarantees
✅ ClickHouse: High-speed data ingestion and sub-second queries

    SELECT 
        name,
        total_space,
        free_space,
        (total_space - free_space) / total_space * 100 as usage_percent
    FROM system.disks"

Network Performance Optimization

# Check inter-pod network latency
kubectl exec -n pulsar pulsar-broker-0 -- 
  ping -c 5 flink-jobmanager.flink-benchmark.svc.cluster.local

# Monitor network bandwidth
kubectl exec -n flink-benchmark <taskmanager-pod> -- 
  iftop -t -s 10

🧹 Enterprise Cleanup

When decommissioning the enterprise setup:

# Graceful shutdown of applications
kubectl delete namespace iot-pipeline flink-benchmark

# Backup critical data before destroying infrastructure
./backup-clickhouse.sh
./backup-flink-savepoints.sh

# Destroy AWS infrastructure
terraform destroy
# Type 'yes' when prompted

# Verify all resources are cleaned up
aws ec2 describe-instances --region us-west-2 
  --filters "Name=tag:kubernetes.io/cluster/benchmark-high-infra,Values=owned"

⚠️ Enterprise Warning: Ensure all critical data is backed up before destruction!

💡 Enterprise Best Practices

# AWS Console → EC2 → Reserved Instances → Purchase
# - Term: 3 years
# - Payment: All upfront (max discount)
# - Instance type: i7i.8xlarge, r6id.4xlarge
# - Quantity: Match your desired_size

# Savings: $33,016 → $24,592/month (26% off)

2. Enterprise Backup Strategy

# Automated EBS snapshots
aws backup create-backup-plan --backup-plan-name daily-snapshots

# ClickHouse enterprise backups to S3
clickhouse-backup create
clickhouse-backup upload

# Flink savepoints for exactly-once recovery
kubectl exec -n flink-benchmark <jm-pod> -- 
  flink savepoint <job-id> s3://benchmark-high-infra-state/savepoints

3. Enterprise Alerting

# CloudWatch Alarms for enterprise monitoring
- CPU > 80% sustained for 5 minutes
- Disk usage > 85%
- Pod crash loops > 3 in 10 minutes
- Flink checkpoint failures

- ClickHouse replication lag > 5 minutes

4. Disaster Recovery Implementation

Multi-Region Setup:

# Deploy identical stack in secondary region
aws_region = "us-east-1"
cluster_name = "benchmark-high-infra-dr"

# Use Pulsar geo-replication
bin/pulsar-admin namespaces set-clusters public/default 
  --clusters us-west-2,us-east-1

# ClickHouse cross-region replication
CREATE TABLE benchmark.sensors_replicated
ENGINE = ReplicatedMergeTree('/clickhouse/tables/{cluster}/sensors', '{replica}')
...

Enterprise Recovery Objectives:

RTO (Recovery Time Objective): < 1 hour
RPO (Recovery Point Objective): < 5 minutes
Automated daily backups to S3
Cross-region replication for critical data

5. Cost Monitoring and Governance

# Set up AWS Cost Explorer with enterprise tags
