Compressed signal propagation pipeline

A computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• receive a plurality of data signals corresponding to a user, the plurality of data signals comprising a plurality of user raw records at corresponding time values;
• compress the plurality of data signals using an incremental compression algorithm to form a single compressed iterative record;
• organize the single compressed iterative record into hierarchical segments based on predefined time intervals using a waterfall data model;
• store the single compressed iterative record in a first cloud storage system;
• receive a request to analyze data corresponding to a selected time interval;
• identify, based on the selected time interval, a corresponding segment of the single compressed iterative record;
• retrieve only the identified segment from the first cloud storage system;
• and
• decompress only the retrieved segment at runtime for analysis without decompressing other segments of the single compressed iterative record.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• receive a plurality of data signals corresponding to a user, the plurality of data signals comprising a plurality of user raw records at corresponding time values;
• compress the plurality of data signals using an incremental compression algorithm to form a single compressed iterative record;
• organize the single compressed iterative record into hierarchical segments based on predefined time intervals using a waterfall data model;
• store the single compressed iterative record in a first cloud storage system;
• receive a request to analyze data corresponding to a selected time interval;
• identify, based on the selected time interval, a corresponding segment of the single compressed iterative record;
• retrieve only the identified segment from the first cloud storage system;
• and
• decompress only the retrieved segment at runtime for analysis without decompressing other segments of the single compressed iterative record.
