An Introduction to Medallion Architecture

As data volumes grow, many organisations struggle with slow reporting, inconsistent data, and disconnected systems. In this two-part on-demand webinar series, we explore Medallion Architecture, a modern data-design approach that structures your data into layers, improving quality, performance, and scalability for reporting and analytics.

Across both sessions, we move from theory into practice: starting with the core principles behind the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, then applying them to a real-world example to show how a data model is designed, documented, and delivered ready for development.

Fill out the forms to watch both parts below, or whichever is most relevant to you.

Part 1 - An Introduction to Medallion Architecture

Watch Part 1 to explore how Medallion Architecture works in practice and how it can help build a more reliable data foundation.

Part 1 covers:

• Common data challenges, including siloed data, slow reporting, and unreliable datasets
• A high-level overview of the Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
• How raw data is ingested, cleaned, and transformed into a trusted analytical model
• The role of each layer in improving data quality and usability
• Key benefits, including improved performance, scalability, and data governance

Part 2 - Medallion Architecture in Practice

In Part 2, we bring the design process to life through a real-world example. You'll learn how to gather business requirements and translate them into a well-documented dimensional model that can be confidently used during development to deliver a reliable and scalable solution.

Part 2 covers:

• A step-by-step Medallion Architecture design process
• How to explore data sources and define business requirements
• The role of workshops with stakeholders to shape accurate data models
• Creating key design documentation, including ERDs, data dictionaries, and transformations
• How to validate, refine, and deliver a model ready for development
