Architecture decision : Separate workspaces

    Hi fabricpribeiro,

     

    Yes, that is also a valid option. If the main requirement is to keep the reporting and business facing layer separate, then keeping raw and bronze shared while separating only Silver can reduce architectural complexity and data duplication.

    The main thing to consider is that the UK and global teams would still be working in the same bronze workspace, so they would not have complete development isolation. If that is not a concern, then keeping raw and bronze shared and separating only Silver can be a good option.

     

    Thanks and regards,

Hi fabricpribeiro,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

 

Your proposed approach sounds reasonable. Separate workspaces for Bronze and Silver can provide better development isolation and ownership between the UK and global teams, since workspaces are the primary security and development boundary in fabric. For Raw, keeping a shared workspace may help avoid complexities with certain ingestion methods and source to workspace limitations.

I would recommend validating the CDC and mirroring scenarios in a test environment before finalizing the design, but overall a shared Raw layer with separated Bronze and Silver layers is a practical approach.

 

Thanks and regards,

would it be better to do it only for Silver? and leave as well bronze out of the equation?
