About This Architecture
Modern enterprise lakehouse on Azure Databricks ingests data from SQL databases, REST APIs, Event Hubs, IoT Hub, and blob storage through Azure Data Factory, Auto Loader, and Spark Streaming into a Bronze Layer (ADLS Gen2). Data flows through Silver Layer cleansing and enrichment via Delta Live Tables and Spark clusters, then to Gold Layer business-ready aggregates using Photon Engine. Unity Catalog provides governance across all layers, while the architecture branches to both ML/AI Platform for model training and serving, and to SQL Warehouse and Power BI for BI consumption. This design demonstrates the medallion architecture pattern with built-in data quality, lineage tracking, and unified governance for enterprise analytics and ML workloads. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to match your specific data sources, transformation logic, and downstream consumers. The integration of Azure Active Directory, Key Vault, and Azure Monitor ensures security and observability across the entire pipeline.
