Understanding the Architecture and Components

Protegrity Synthetic Data generates realistic, privacy-safe synthetic datasets using machine learning models. It learns patterns and distributions from real data, then produces new records with similar statistical properties.

Protegrity Synthetic Data uses Kubernetes for scalable Synthetic Data generation and supports deployment on AWS EKS.

Communication Ports

Components

• PPC Gateway: Exposes the external HTTPS endpoint and routes requests to the Synthetic Data REST API.

• Synthetic Data REST Server: Exposes the /pty/syntheticdata/v2 API and runs ML models such as VineCopula, TabDiff, TabularGAN, and SMOTE in-process to produce synthetic datasets. It stores job metadata in PostgreSQL, reads input data from the S3 bucket and writes output data to it.

• PostgreSQL: Hosts two logical databases. jobstatedb stores job metadata, including generation parameters, job status, and result references. mlopsdb stores MLOps model contracts, training runs, metrics, and artifact references managed by the MLOps library.

• S3 Storage: Stores input datasets and generated synthetic datasets.

• IAM Role with EKS Pod Identity: Grants the Synthetic Data REST Server secure access to the S3 bucket without static AWS credentials.

• Python SDK: Provides programmatic access to the REST API. For more information about the Python SDK, refer to the Python SDK Installation section.
