Guidelines for creating Data Architecture
Author: Omid Vahdaty 30.8.2020
In this blog I will share my methodology for data architecture
High level guidelines
- Product Discovery: Talk to the management team, understand the product, Type of users, and Type of features.
- Data Mapping: Map all the operational data tables, granularity level and foreign keys to other tables. Assume there will be 3rd party data sources such as GA (free or 360), Firebase analytics etc.
- Hypnotize : Generate a list of desired granularity, dimensions, metrics, measures, attributes, based on business questions created by product and marketing teams.
- Create a draft Data Architecture that is layer (Ingestion, transformation, modeling, presentation). read this blog about Big Data Architecture.
- Gap Analysis: confirm with the stakeholders that data exists to generate the above data architecture.
- Implement the data architecture.
