Introduction
Imagine your organization collects raw sales transactions, clickstream events, and product catalog updates. All of this data arrives in different formats at different rates. Without a plan for organizing this data, analysts spend more time cleaning than analyzing, and reports that rely on inconsistent data erode confidence in the numbers.
The medallion architecture solves this problem. By organizing your lakehouse into three progressive layers (bronze, silver, and gold), you create a clear, reliable path from raw ingestion to analytics-ready data. It's an industry-standard pattern that maps naturally onto the Delta Lake-based Fabric lakehouse.
In this module, you explore the three medallion layers and how to implement the architecture in a Fabric lakehouse. You also learn how to query and report on gold layer data, apply security, and govern your lakehouse.
