⚙️ Unity Catalog: What is it?

Data chaos doesn’t scale. Lack of governance kills velocity.

That’s where Unity Catalog comes in.

In this week’s cloud engineering series, I’m giving you a straightforward overview of Unity Catalog—Databricks' built-in way to organize, secure, and govern your data as it flows through the bronze → silver → gold pipeline.

We’ll cover:

✅ Core components of Unity Catalog

✅ How it changes your medallion architecture

✅ Why it's critical for secure MLOps and reliable BI

✅ And how to stop duct-taping access controls together

This isn’t theory. This is real architecture that simplifies data governance and prevents downstream chaos—whether you're building for analytics, machine learning, or both.

👉 Future videos will dive into the implementation details, so now’s the time to get grounded in how it all fits together.

💬 If you’re leading a data team and tired of managing a million ACLs or living in notebook sprawl—let’s talk.
