1.5.2. Why This Pattern Matters for the Exam
The exam frequently presents scenarios requiring you to identify which layer handles a transformation:
- "Deduplicate records" → Silver layer
- "Calculate YTD revenue" → Gold layer
- "Ingest raw JSON from API" → Bronze layer
⚠️ Exam Trap: The medallion architecture is a logical pattern, not a Fabric feature. Fabric doesn't enforce it—you implement it through naming conventions and workspace organization. Questions about "configuring bronze layer" are testing your understanding of the concept, not a specific setting.
