Introduction: The Modern Data Challenge

In today’s data-driven world, organizations are drowning in data but starving
for insights. Traditional ETL processes are too rigid, too slow, and too
expensive to scale. What if I told you there’s a better way to build data
pipelines that are:

• Metadata-driven (no code changes for new tables)

• Scalable (handles growing data volumes automatically)

• Reliable (comprehensive error handling and monitoring)

• Cost-effective (optimized resource usage)

Today, I’ll walk you through building a complete Medallion Architecture data
pipeline using Azure services. By the end of this article, you’ll have a
production-ready solution that can process terabytes of data with minimal
maintenance.

What is Medallion Architecture?

The Medallion Architecture is a data design pattern that organizes data in
layers of increasing quality and refinement:

Bronze Layer (Raw Data)

• Purpose: Exact copy of source system data

• Format: Parquet files for efficient storage

• Characteristics: Preserves original data types, includes duplicates

• Use Case: Data archival, compliance, re-processing scenarios

Silver Layer (Cleaned & Enriched)

• Purpose: Business-ready data with quality controls

• Format: Delta Lake for ACID transactions

• Characteristics: Deduplicated, validated, enriched with metadata

• Use Case: Analytics, reporting, machine learning

Gold Layer (Analytics Ready)

• Purpose: Highly refined, aggregated data

• Format: Delta Lake with business models

• Characteristics: KPIs, dimensions, domain-specific views

• Use Case: Executive dashboards, regulatory reporting

In this tutorial, we’ll implement Bronze → Silver transformation, which covers

80% of most data pipeline requirements.

• Cost-effective: Pay only for pipeline runs

Azure Databricks
• Apache Spark: Distributed processing for large datasets

• Delta Lake: ACID transactions, schema evolution, time travel

• Auto-scaling: Clusters scale based on workload

• Optimization: Automatic performance tuning

Delta Lake Deep Dive

Delta Lake is the secret sauce that makes our Silver layer powerful:

ACID Transactions

# Concurrent writes don't corrupt data

df.write.format("delta").mode("append").save("/path/to/table")

Time Travel

-- View data as it existed yesterday

SELECT * FROM delta.`/mnt/silver/customers/` TIMESTAMP AS OF '2025-01-14'

Schema Evolution

# Add new columns without breaking existing queries

df.withColumn("new_column", lit("default_value")) \
.write.format("delta").option("mergeSchema", "true").save("/path")

Upsert Operations

# Merge new data with existing records

silver_table.alias("target").merge(
new_data.alias("source"),
"target.customer_id = source.customer_id"
).whenMatchedUpdateAll().whenNotMatchedInsertAll().execute()

Control Database Schema

The heart of our metadata-driven approach is the control database:

-- Source Systems Configuration

CREATE TABLE ctl.SourceSystems (
SourceSystemId INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
SourceSystemName NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
SourceSystemType NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'SqlServer',
ConnectionString NVARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
IsActive BIT DEFAULT 1
);

-- Tables Configuration
CREATE TABLE ctl.Tables (
TableId INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
SourceSystemId INT NOT NULL,
SchemaName NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
TableName NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
LoadType NVARCHAR(20) CHECK (LoadType IN ('Full',
'Incremental')),
PrimaryKeyColumns NVARCHAR(500),
BronzePath NVARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
SilverPath NVARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
IsActive BIT DEFAULT 1,
Priority INT DEFAULT 100

);

-- Processing Status Tracking

CREATE TABLE ctl.ProcessingStatus (
StatusId BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
TableId INT NOT NULL,
Layer NVARCHAR(20) CHECK (Layer IN ('Bronze', 'Silver', 'Gold')),
ProcessingDate DATE NOT NULL,
Status NVARCHAR(20) CHECK (Status IN ('Running', 'Success',
'Failed')),
StartTime DATETIME,
EndTime DATETIME,
RecordsProcessed BIGINT,
ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(MAX)
);

This schema enables us to:

• Configure new tables without code changes

• Track processing status in real-time

• Handle errors with detailed logging

• Support multiple source systems with different connection types

Pipeline Architecture:

1. Bronze Ingestion Pipeline: Extracts data from source systems to Bronze

layer

2. Silver Processing Pipeline: Transforms Bronze data to Silver with quality

controls

3. Master Orchestrator Pipeline: Coordinates the entire process with error

handling

Step 3: Databricks Transformation Logic

The heart of our Silver layer processing happens in Databricks:

KPIs

• Aggregated Data: Pre-calculated metrics for dashboard performance

• Domain Data Marts: Sales, Marketing, Finance-specific views

• API-Ready: Optimized for consumption by applications and reports

Implementation Approach

# Future Gold layer transformation example

def create_customer_360(silver_customers, silver_orders, silver_interactions):
customer_360 = silver_customers \
.join(silver_orders, "customer_id") \
.join(silver_interactions, "customer_id") \

.groupBy("customer_id") \
.agg(
sum("order_amount").alias("total_spent"),
count("order_id").alias("total_orders"),
max("last_interaction_date").alias("last_activity")
)

2. Create LDW on Synapse Serverless SQL Pool:

I’ll build a Logical Data Warehouse (LDW) on top of the gold layer using
Serverless SQL Pool.

3. Migrate Report Sources:

The next phase will be migrating report data sources from Serverless SQL
Pool to Fabric Shortcuts and SQL Endpoints.

4. Enable Databricks UC for Reporting:

We’ll leverage Databricks Unity Catalog to access the gold layer directly
for reporting purposes.

5. ADF to Fabric Data Factory Migration:

I am also planning to migrate the Azure Data Factory pipelines to Fabric
Data Factory for a fully modern, end-to-end architecture.

Stay tuned for updates!

The goal is to showcase the most effective orchestration strategies while
adopting the latest technologies available in the data engineering ecosystem.
