The granted patent US12040933B2 outlines a system and method for managing network events through a combination of a batch distribution data lake and an event fanning platform. The system utilizes at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium to execute instructions that facilitate the generation of a data lake containing a multitude of network events sourced from a global data stream. It employs an event fanning platform to extract and create low-latency data streams from these network events. The system is designed to assess the latency of self-service event requests and, based on a predefined threshold, select the appropriate source for the requested network event—either from the data lake for higher latency events or from the fanning platform for lower latency events.

Additionally, the patent details various functionalities, including the ability to generate consumer application data streams tailored to specific self-service requests, perform access control checks, and modify event fanning configurations based on incoming requests. The system can also handle scenarios where requested network events are not present in the global data stream, allowing for dynamic adjustments to the event fanning configurations. Overall, the patent emphasizes a structured approach to efficiently manage and deliver network event data while ensuring low latency and adaptability to user requests.
