Explainer Video: Data Vault – Hubs, Links, Satellites & Beyond

In this hands-on virtual tour recording, Patrick O’Halloran (Senior Solutions Architect, WhereScape) takes Data Vault from intimidating to intuitive; all in only 30 minutes.

Come learn with Patrick as he shows you how a simple, business-first model becomes a working Raw Vault: without hand-wiring hubs, links, or satellites.

You’ll see WhereScape 3D + RED turn rules and metadata into target-ready objects, ELT jobs and documentation.

What you’ll learn by watching:

  • The blueprint: move from conceptual → logical → physical modeling, and why starting business-first avoids fragile “source-system modeling.”
  • Source discovery & profiling: connect to databases, files, and APIs; derive relationships; use profiling stats (e.g., null percentages) to de-risk keys and data quality early.
  • Rules in 3D: apply conventions, volatility, and PII handling once—let the rules engine propagate naming, types, validation, and repeatable patterns.
  • One-click Data Vault generation: automatically produce hubs, links, and satellites from your logical design—and safely regenerate as requirements change.
  • Load & stage automation: create EL pipelines and type-casting for your chosen target (Snowflake in the demo; also supports Fabric, Databricks, SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres & more).
  • Orchestration in RED: generate ELT code, schedule parallel loads, set dependencies/retries, and monitor runs—without brittle scripting.
  • Lineage & impact analysis: detect upstream schema drift and trace downstream effects before production breaks.
  • Scale by example: watch ~11 source tables expand into 60+ managed objects in minutes—without manual wiring.
  • Beyond the Raw Vault: quickly add PITs/Bridges and publish query-ready views that emulate facts/dimensions for analytics.

“It took the architects a day and a half to solve all four use cases. They built two Data Vaults on the host application data, linked the two applications together and documented the whole process. This was impressive by any standard. After that it was an easy process to get all the documents signed.”

Daniel Seymore, Head of BI, Investec South Africa

"At seven months into the project we can say it really worked out. We have been able to really quickly develop an initial MVP for our first country and that was really good. The automation and the changes we needed to do were rapidly applied. We had to remodel a few things and that was done within a day with the automation in WhereScape."
