Key topics include: using a single Airflow instance for orchestration across all data products (with Airflow datasets for inter-product messaging), Databricks with Unity Catalog for heavy data processing and lineage, Great Expectations for data quality and human-readable reporting, and a two-tier storage strategy (Azure Data Lake for bronze/silver/gold layers, Azure SQL or Elasticsearch for specific serving needs). Lessons learned include not delaying the data catalog, avoiding domain-based infrastructure splits, and creating a reusable data product blueprint template to accelerate team onboarding. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
