Today I appeared for an interview, they asked me:- What is an Architecture of Anaplan?
I wasn't able to reply. Someone please help me with this question.
Hi,
that is a very open question. Anaplan is very flexible so we do a lot of different thing and thus have a wide range of architecture. And even for the same use case, you can use two very different architecture depending on constraint such as number of users, volume of data, reporting level etc.
If you ask me what is the architecture of one of my work I'd answer you with:
- the list of models: data hub, model, reporting model etc
- the data flow between the sources, the data hub and the other models
- High level schema of the main parts of the models, with major structuring lists and important modules
- the number of users ans teams using these different models
I hope it helps
Hello @Sameer_Bajaj ,
I look at it from two different perspectives. One - Solution architecture, as what @nathan_rudman explained, which differs from solution to solution.
Another one is the software architecture which describes a database - application - middle tier - web client etc the technical components which makes up the software. Being a cloud product, it is not shared in public.

Hello, I’m running into a recurring issue when importing CSV files into Anaplan, specifically with dates in February for the years 2028, 2029, and beyond. Here’s what’s happening: In Excel, the date format is set to Custom (e.g., 2/26/2025). When imported into Anaplan, the date is interpreted as 26-Feb, where: Month = Feb…
I have an issue where I am getting the expected result from RANKCUMULATE when using one dimension, but when I add an additional scenario dimension to the module, it doesn't calculate the way I'd expect. Here are some screenshots to explain the case: Module 1 - calculates cumulative total for list items in list "Age"…
Hey everyone, I wanted to share the Anaplan Python SDK with you. It's a Python Library that wraps all Anaplan APIs and makes it easier to interact with Anaplan programmatically. It is mostly designed with Data Integration Scenarios in mind, but it does support all APIs including ALM, SCIM, Audit, and Cloud Works. Please…
