    Study Notes

    Lake House Medallion Architecture Overview

    • Modern architecture pattern widely adopted for data management.
    • Aims to efficiently solve data problems with a structured approach.
    • Involves multiple layers, starting from the bronze layer, which stores raw data.

    Data Ingestion into the Bronze Layer

    • Data ingestion tools are selected based on the source systems and data types.
    • Goal is to bring data into the bronze layer for processing and preparation.
    • Direct ingestion into bronze layer tables is one approach; however, it's common to use a staging layer.

    Staging Layer Significance

    • A staging layer can reside in cloud storage, acting as an intermediary before data lands in the bronze layer.
    • Decoupling data ingestion from the lakehouse architecture allows for continuous ingestion while the lakehouse processes data.
    • Upon data arrival in the staging area, a job or pipeline runs to consume data and populate the bronze layer using delta tables.

    Tools for Data Ingestion in Databricks

    • Databricks provides three primary tools/methods to ingest data from staging to bronze layer:
      • Copy Command: A direct method to move data.
      • Spark Structured Streaming APIs: Allows custom logic for real-time data processing.
      • Databricks Auto Loader: Specialized tool for reading data from staging areas or cloud directories efficiently.

    Next Steps

    • Upcoming lectures will explore detailed methods for ingesting data from the staging layer.
    • Focus will be on the implementation and operation of each ingestion method available within Databricks.
