My primary use case for HCLTech Informix is multifaceted. I have previously used it as a backend database for Visual Basic, Visual Basic .NET, and C applications, as well as an analytical system to generate key metrics and indicators. Currently, it serves as our main repository, feeding the foundational (bronze) layer of our data lake with incoming system data while running continuously in the background. Specifically, we connect directly to HCLTech Informix for raw data ingestion into the bronze layer. We execute SELECT queries across full tables, while using delta loads for larger tables (such as our billing table) to populate the base layer for downstream analysis. The connection speed is exceptionally fast. Data is ingested daily in batches, and the entire pipeline runs seamlessly. Both application-level writes to the database and data extraction for the data lake operate flawlessly.
