Data Lake Architecture Storyboard¶

Overview¶

Visual storyboard for the Data Lake Architecture video, focusing on medallion architecture visualization and data flow animations.

Key Visual Sequences¶

Sequence 1: Medallion Architecture (0:00 - 2:00)¶

Visual Concept: Three-tier pyramid

```text ┌─────────┐ │ Gold │ ← Business ready ├─────────┤ │ Silver │ ← Cleansed ├─────────┤ │ Bronze │ ← Raw └─────────┘

**Animation Flow**:
1. Data flows into Bronze (raw files appear)
2. Transformation to Silver (data cleaning animation)
3. Aggregation to Gold (business metrics appear)
4. Power BI connects to Gold layer

**Color Scheme**:
- Bronze: #CD7F32 (copper)
- Silver: #C0C0C0 (silver)
- Gold: #FFD700 (gold)

### Sequence 2: Partitioning Strategy (2:00 - 3:30)

**Visual**: Folder tree animation

```textsales/
  year=2024/
    month=01/
      day=01/
        ← Files appear here

Animation: - Folders expand from root - Files populate dynamically - Highlight partition pruning benefit

Sequence 3: File Format Comparison (3:30 - 4:30)¶

Visual: Side-by-side comparison

Animation: - Bar chart showing size difference - Performance metrics appear - Feature checkboxes animate in

Sequence 4: Security Layers (4:30 - 5:30)¶

Visual: Hierarchical security diagram

textStorage Account └─ RBAC (Role assignments) └─ Container └─ ACLs (File/folder permissions) └─ SAS tokens (Temporary access)

Animation: - Security shields appear at each layer - Lock icons indicate protection level - User personas show different access levels
