The Lakeflow Framework

The Lakeflow Framework (LFF)

Metadata-driven pipelines for Databricks Lakeflow SDP

Configure once. Reuse everywhere. LFF transforms declarative metadata into production-ready Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP) using reusable patterns and Databricks Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs).

One framework. Any operating model.

Built to fit the way your organization delivers data. Whether your teams operate through a centralized platform, a hybrid model, or federated domain ownership, LFF adapts to your operating model. Use consistent implementation patterns to build medallion pipelines, domain-owned data products, or architectures tailored to your business.
