The Missing Organizing Principle of Microsoft Fabric: Medallion Architecture Explained :gem:
The article discusses the importance of the Medallion Architecture in mastering Microsoft Fabric. It emphasizes that treating Microsoft Fabric as a collection of standalone tools can lead to technical issues and poor data governance. By following the Medallion Architecture, users can create a more effective data platform with structured layers of data quality.
- ▪The Medallion Architecture divides data into three layers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
- ▪The Bronze layer focuses on raw data ingestion without applying business logic.
- ▪The Silver layer aims to create a Single Source of Truth by cleaning and conforming data.
- ▪The Gold layer organizes high-performance analytics into business subject areas using a Star Schema.
