The Unizin Data Platform (UDP) is a data platform product that integrates, aggregates, cleans, and models all teaching and learning data.

It generates a unified portrait of learners in the context of their learning environments and provides a layer of data services to drive analytics, data science, and research, enabling institutions to build effective data-driven practices at scale.

The Unizin Data Platform (UDP) is a cloud-native, single-tenant architecture solution that integrates and warehouses data from the Student Information System (SIS), Learning Management System (LMS), and LMS-integrated tools.

### [**System overview**](https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/system-overview)

The Unizin Data Platform (UDP) is primarily composed of two data pipelines. Each data pipeline creates and maintains the data lakes and data marts that undergird the UDP's data services. There exists one data pipeline for each [learning data category](https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/key-concepts/data-categories) integrated by the Unizin Data Platform (context data and behavior data).

1. [Context data pipeline](https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/system-overview/context-data-pipeline)
2. [Event data pipeline](https://resources.unizin.org/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/system-overview/event-data-pipeline)
