Solution · Lakehouse Assessment

Need a Databricks Architect now? Start with a three-week Lakehouse Architecture Assessment.

A fixed-scope architecture and governance review your client can approve while the permanent hiring process continues in parallel.

The operational problem

Lakehouse architecture questions don't wait for the perfect hire.

Enterprises adopting Databricks often face a set of overlapping decisions — workspace topology, Unity Catalog governance, security model, migration sequencing, performance patterns — that can't be deferred while a permanent Databricks Architect is being recruited. A short, focused assessment can produce a defensible target state and roadmap now, and often sharpens the eventual full-time job description.

Who this is for
  • Client is trying to hire a Databricks Architect and can't wait 60–120 days
  • Lakehouse rollout has stalled on Unity Catalog, security, or migration questions
  • Multiple Databricks workspaces exist but no shared architectural standard
  • Performance, cost, or governance concerns need a defensible outside review
Fixed scope
~3 weeks

Core deliverables

  • Current-state architecture review across workspaces, clusters, jobs, and catalogs
  • Unity Catalog governance and access-model gap analysis
  • Target-state reference architecture with recommended patterns
  • Prioritized 90-day roadmap and executive briefing
  • Optional handoff pack for a future full-time Databricks Architect

Scope, duration, and pricing are confirmed in a written SOW after a scoping conversation. Outcomes depend on client environment and stakeholder participation.
