Systems and methods for universal data ingestion

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of data producers;
• and
• a multi-layer pod, wherein the multi-layer pod is executed by a computer processor in a datacenter and comprises a data collection layer, a data ingestion layer, a data messaging/staging layer, a data enrichment/transformation layer, a data connection layer, and a plurality of data stores;
• wherein:
• the data ingestion layer is configured to receive data from one or more of the plurality of data producers, wherein the data may be in any format;
• the data ingestion layer is configured to ingest the data using a producer proxy agent or an ingestion application programming interface (API);
• the data messaging/staging layer is configured to stage the ingested data;
• the data enrichment/transformation layer is configured to enrich or transform the staged data based on at least one customer requirement;
• and
• the data connection layer is configured to route the enriched or transformed data from the data messaging/staging layer to a data store at a velocity based on the data store,
• wherein the velocity is a speed at which the data store is capable of accepting the enriched or transformed data.
