Data Platform Architecture

This data platform architecture gives business systems and product events a shared landing place in a data lake. Quality checks and a data catalog make the stored data easier to trust and find. Curated data then supports an analytics warehouse, dashboards and machine-learning models. The diagram is intentionally high level: it helps a team agree on the movement from source data to consumption before choosing specific products or pipelines.
