Datafabriksetup

Datafabriksetup refers to a standardized blueprint for establishing a data factory within an organization. It encompasses the configuration, templates, and automation required to ingest, process, and deliver data in a repeatable and auditable way.

Core components typically included are: data sources connectors, ingestion layer (batch or streaming), processing framework, storage layer (data lake and data warehouse), metadata management and data catalog, data quality checks, orchestrator, and monitoring. Security layers and access controls, versioned configurations, and reproducibility are also central considerations.

The setup process involves requirements gathering, technology selection, creating a templated blueprint, parameterizing for environments, implementing pipelines, adopting infrastructure as code, CI/CD for data artifacts, and establishing observability and lineage.

Benefits and use cases: faster onboarding, consistency, governance, auditability, easier testing and rollback. Common implementations rely on tools like Airflow or Dagster for orchestration, dbt for transformation, Spark or Beam for processing, Data Lakes on S3/ADLS, and warehouses like Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift, deployed via Infrastructure as Code on cloud providers.

Challenges include maintaining the blueprint over time, ensuring data security and privacy, managing schema drift, and controlling costs as data volumes grow. Datafabriksetup emphasizes repeatability, governance, and clear ownership to support scalable data delivery across environments.
