Data Vault
Companies have long struggled with making their data warehouse resilient to change. While traditional data modeling approaches such as Kimball, Star schemas & Inmon are great for directly performing analytics, they have shown weaknesses when it comes to reacting to serious organizational changes. Retaining history properly and redesigning the schema can be challenging. Enter Data Vault! Data Vault is a methodology designed for data warehousing that focuses on flexibility, scalability, and agility in handling large volumes of data. At a high level, it employs three main types of entities: Hubs, Links, and Satellites. Hubs represent business entities, Links denote the relationships between these entities, and Satellites capture the context and history of the data. This approach enables a more robust and adaptable data architecture, accommodating changes in business requirements with ease while ensuring data integrity and traceability.
