Medallion Architecture — Azure Data Engineering

Enterprise lakehouse on Azure following the Bronze/Silver/Gold medallion pattern. Bronze layer ingests raw data via Azure Data Factory pipelines into Azure Data Lake Gen 2 (Parquet format). Silver layer applies DBT transformations in Azure Databricks. Gold layer writes refined aggregates to Azure SQL Database. Azure Key Vault manages secrets throughout. Topics: azure, dbt, databricks, azuredatafactory.

🔴 The Problem
▸

Raw data landed in a flat S3-like store with no quality guarantees or transformation history

▸

No governance layer between raw ingest and business reporting

✅ The Solution
▸

Medallion pattern: ADF pipelines load raw Parquet to ADLS Gen 2 (Bronze); DBT transforms in Databricks (Silver); curated aggregates in Azure SQL (Gold)

▸

Azure Key Vault manages secrets at every layer

📈 Impact & Results
▸

Clear data lineage from raw source to business-ready aggregate

▸

DBT tests enforce data quality contracts at the Silver layer

▸

Gold layer tables feed Power BI dashboards directly via Azure SQL connector
