The Medallion Architecture, popularized by Databricks, is a structured approach to building robust data pipelines within a lakehouse environment.
It consists of three layers - Bronze, Silver, and Gold - each serving a specific purpose in the data processing pipeline.
The architecture addresses modern data complexities, prevents data lakes from becoming 'data swamps,' and ensures a single source of truth for data products.
The Medallion Architecture is ideal for organizations dealing with complex data landscapes and supports strategic decision-making and innovation.
