To ensure that the usage of the data in the Amazon S3 bucket meets the technical requirements, we must address two key points:

Minimize egress costs associated with cross-cloud data access: Using a shortcut ensures that Fabric does not replicate the data from the S3 bucket into the lakehouse but rather provides direct access to the data in its original location. This minimizes cross-cloud data transfer and avoids additional egress costs.

Prevent saving a copy of the raw data in the lakehouses: Disabling caching ensures that the raw data is not copied or persisted in the Fabric workspace. The data is accessed on-demand directly from the Amazon S3 bucket.

The technical requirements specify that:

Medallion layers must be fully populated sequentially (bronze → silver → gold). Each layer must be populated before the next.

If any step fails, the process must notify the data engineers.

Data imports should run simultaneously when possible.

Why Use a Data Pipeline That Calls Other Data Pipelines?

A data pipeline provides a modular and reusable approach to orchestrating the sequential population of medallion layers.

By calling other pipelines, each pipeline can focus on populating a specific layer (bronze, silver, or gold), simplifying development and maintenance.

A parent pipeline can handle:

- Sequential execution of child pipelines.

- Error handling to send email notifications upon failures.

- Parallel execution of tasks where possible (e.g., simultaneous imports into the bronze layer).

Bronze Layer: A pipeline Copy activity

The bronze layer is used to store raw, unprocessed data. The requirements specify that no transformations should be applied before landing the data in this layer. Using a pipeline Copy activity ensures minimal development effort, built-in connectors, and the ability to ingest the data directly into the Delta format in the bronze layer.

Silver Layer: A notebook

The silver layer involves extensive data cleansing (deduplication, handling missing values, and standardizing capitalization). A notebook provides the flexibility to implement complex transformations and is well-suited for this task.
