Medallion Architecture on Snowflake with Atlas and dbt
· 7 min read
In a Snowflake medallion architecture, raw data lands in Bronze, which dbt cleans into Silver and shapes
into Gold. dbt owns the two upper layers completely. Every dbt run recreates the tables and views its
models define, from code that is versioned, reviewed, and tested.
The bronze layer those models stand on has no such owner. This post is about that layer, and giving Bronze a proper owner without disrupting your dbt project.
