Official resources used

GuildBuild adaptation

GuildBuild combines official OneLake, Data Factory, and Real-Time Intelligence tutorials into a starter architecture for batch plus streaming workloads.

What Microsoft provides

OneLake documentation for unified lake storage and medallion architecture entry points.
Data Factory tutorials for pipeline and dataflow orchestration.
Real-Time Intelligence tutorial for event ingestion, KQL, alerts, dashboards, and anomaly detection.

What GuildBuild adds

Implementation sequence for Bronze, Silver, Gold, and real-time lanes.
Engineering readiness checklist for sources, schedules, ownership, monitoring, and promotion.
Starter repository outline for notebooks, pipelines, test fixtures, and deployment notes.

Buyer evaluation checklist

Are batch and streaming workloads separated while sharing governance and discovery?
Do pipeline failures, freshness, and quality checks have owners?
Can engineers promote from starter patterns to production safely?
