Complex Precedence & Out-of-Sequence Safety in Bronze-Layer SCD2 (Regulated FS)

This article defines how to implement SCD2 in the Bronze layer to safely handle multi-source precedence, out-of-sequence data, partial and full loads, deletions, and transaction patterns in regulated Financial Services. It introduces a metadata-driven approach that preserves temporal truth, prevents ingestion-order corruption, and enables deterministic is_current. The result is a defensible, replayable foundation that simplifies downstream Silver layers and supports point-in-time reconstruction under audit.

Migrating Legacy EDW Slowly-Changing Dimensions to Lakehouse Bronze

From 20-year-old warehouse SCDs to a modern temporal backbone you can trust. This article lays out a practical, regulator-aware playbook for migrating legacy EDW SCD dimensions to a modern SCD2 Bronze layer in a medallion/lakehouse architecture. It covers what you are really migrating (semantics, not just tables), how to treat the EDW as a source system, how to build canonical SCD2 Bronze, how to run both platforms in parallel, and how to prove to auditors and regulators that nothing has been lost or corrupted in the process.
