Lakehouse / DWH Accelerator
Stand up a reusable Azure lakehouse fast — landing zones, metadata-driven ingestion, medallion layers and CI/CD. Your first subject area live in weeks, not months.
Who it’s for
- SMEs on on-prem/VM SQL, SSIS/SSAS/SSRS and ad-hoc Power BI who need a governed, scalable platform.
- Teams that want incremental delivery with cost controls and observability from day one.
What’s included
- IaC landing zone (networking, storage, identities, environments).
- Metadata-driven ingestion for files/APIs/DBs with schema-drift handling.
- Medallion layers (Bronze/Silver/Gold) with Delta/Parquet, partitioning and retention.
- Semantic model scaffolding ready for trusted Power BI.
- Observability: logging, retries, freshness/SLA dashboards and runbooks.
- CI/CD ready promotion flows (Dev/Test/Prod).

Time-to-value
- Week 1–2: Landing zone, repo and environments, accelerator install.
- Week 3–4: First source onboarded → Bronze/Silver, quality checks, dashboards wired.
- Week 5–6: Gold model and initial Power BI semantic layer; runbooks and hand-off.
Prerequisites
- Azure subscription(s) with access; service principals available.
- Source system access and at least one initial subject area agreed.
Deliverables
- Running lakehouse with IaC, ingestion metadata store and medallion layers.
- Dashboards for freshness/SLA and job health; runbooks and backlog.
- Promotion pipeline and starter semantic model.
