The Race For Data Quality in a Medallion Architecture

DataKitchen

Finally, the challenge we are addressing in this document – is how to prove the data is correct at each layer.? How do you ensure data quality in every layer? The Medallion architecture is a framework that allows data engineers to build organized and analysis-ready datasets in a lakehouse environment.

Introducing Compute-Compute Separation for Real-Time Analytics

Rockset

When you deconstruct the core database architecture, deep in the heart of it you will find a single component that is performing two distinct competing functions: real-time data ingestion and query serving. When data ingestion has a flash flood moment, your queries will slow down or time out making your application flaky.
