Recent article from Dotnetpro about "Data Vault," a data management framework developed over 30 years ago by Dan Linstedt, designed to offer a scalable and adaptable solution for managing complex data environments.
Known for its modular architecture, Data Vault suits dynamic environments and has been gaining increased recognition. However, it is important to note that without specific automation tools, deploying Data Vault can be a complex task, particularly in smaller or less complex settings where simpler approaches like Kimball might be better suited.
Data Vault's primary components—hubs, satellites, and links—provide a structured approach to data management that allows for incremental updates and modifications without overhauling the whole system. This feature proves useful in environments experiencing regular organizational changes or those required to preserve historical data accuracy. The system is particularly valuable in highly regulated industries like finance and healthcare, thanks to its strong audit and tracking capabilities. Additionally, its support for scalability and data consistency makes it a compelling option for expanding businesses.
