Abstract

The rapid growth of cloud applications, distributed data sources, and real-time digital services has created a strong demand for intelligent data-engineering architectures that can process, integrate, and analyze information efficiently. Traditional data-engineering platforms often require continuous infrastructure provisioning, manual workflow configuration, and complex resource management. This paper proposes a Machine Learning-based intelligent data-engineering framework that combines serverless cloud computing, API-driven architectures, automated data pipelines, and machine learning techniques. The proposed framework enables dynamic data ingestion, transformation, quality assessment, feature engineering, anomaly detection, workload prediction, and intelligent resource optimization without requiring organizations to maintain continuously running infrastructure. API-driven components provide standardized interfaces for connecting enterprise applications, databases, IoT platforms, SaaS services, and external data sources. Machine learning models analyze pipeline behavior, identify data-quality problems, predict workload changes, and recommend or automate optimization decisions. Serverless functions dynamically execute data-processing tasks according to demand, improving scalability and reducing infrastructure management overhead. The methodology evaluates the proposed architecture using data-processing latency, throughput, resource utilization, cost efficiency, data-quality accuracy, scalability, and fault-recovery performance. Security mechanisms including API authentication, authorization, encryption, monitoring, and access policies are integrated into the architecture. The proposed framework provides an adaptive foundation for modern data engineering by combining intelligent analytics with event-driven and serverless cloud technologies.
