Abstract

In today’s data-intensive industries, the demand for real-time billing pipelines has surged alongside growing regulatory pressures for data governance, auditability, and security. This paper proposes a compliance-centric architectural model that integrates Fabric Warehouses and serverless Lambda Functions to support high-performance billing workflows while embedding compliance at the core of data operations. The model introduces a modular, event-driven pipeline that processes transactions in real-time, applying validation, access control, and audit logging as inherent pipeline functions. By leveraging Fabric Warehouses for secure, schema-enforced storage and Lambda Functions for scalable, event-based computation, the system achieves low-latency processing without compromising data accuracy or regulatory adherence. Key contributions include a layered architecture design, automated compliance enforcement mechanisms, and a metadata-driven operational workflow that improves transparency, traceability, and fault tolerance. The model’s strategic implications are examined across three domains: enhancing regulatory compliance and data integrity, improving scalability through decoupled architecture, and increasing operational efficiency via automation and real-time monitoring. The proposed approach offers practical insights for modernizing legacy billing systems and supports future extensions involving AI-driven anomaly detection and cross-platform orchestration. This research contributes a replicable, future-ready framework for enterprises aiming to ensure continuous compliance in increasingly complex digital billing environments.
