Bronze Layer

The raw landing layer of a medallion architecture, holding source data as ingested, often append-only with load metadata.

Definition

Bronze keeps a full-fidelity history for replay and auditing, with minimal transformation such as adding ingestion time and source file name.

Exam tip

Don't clean data in bronze; preserve it raw so it can be reprocessed.
