The Skionis Platform · Governed Lakehouse + Provable Compliance
Govern your lakehouse.
Prove every use of your data.
Skionis moves your enterprise data into a governed Databricks lakehouse and tracks every use of it against policy and consent. Working demo in your first meeting. Live on your own Databricks in three weeks.

The Data Platform
Source to a governed lakehouse. None of the boilerplate.
Skionis is the proprietary Databricks accelerator behind it. Seven modules cover the lifecycle from raw source through governed Gold tables, structured databases and APIs alongside unstructured PDFs, scans, and contracts parsed into typed tables with Databricks AI Functions. Your engineers configure. Skionis generates the production Spark code, deploys it to your workspace, and registers everything in Unity Catalog.
Data Model
The semantic shape of the lakehouse, surfaced automatically.
Skionis introspects tables, infers primary and foreign keys, and scores referential confidence. It surfaces the entity model behind your raw sources. Business analysts then ask questions in plain English on top of Gold.
- Composite primary keys detected, not just single-column
- Cross-connector foreign-key inference with relationship confidence scoring
- Natural-language query surface over governed Gold tables

Unstructured → structured
PDFs, scans, contracts. Parsed straight into Silver.
Most ETL stops at structured sources. Skionis handles unstructured ones too: invoices, contracts, maintenance reports, and scanned PDFs. Databricks AI Functions parse the layout, extract typed fields, and land them in a Delta Silver table. Your engineers define the spec once. Skionis runs it on every new document.
Gold Table Builder
Build the business layer visually. Zero Spark SQL hand-written.
Drag Silver tables onto a canvas. Set joins, output columns, aggregations, and WHERE filters. Skionis generates the production Spark SQL job, deploys it to Databricks, and registers the Gold Delta table in Unity Catalog.
- INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL OUTER joins, with composite keys
- Aggregations, filters, transforms, and WHERE clauses set visually
- Lineage carried column-by-column through to Gold

Pipeline Lineage
Bronze to Silver to Gold, end to end, with column-level provenance.
Every source column links to the Silver column it normalized into, and onward to the Gold table that surfaces it. Schema drift is detected on every sync. Impact analysis is a graph traversal, not a manual hunt.
- Watermark-driven incremental loads with Delta CDF
- Schema drift caught on the next sync, not in production
- Column-level lineage drives the governance layer above

The Governance Layer
Prove every use stayed within policy. As a query, not a six-week exercise.
Databricks runs the enforcement engine and the audit log. Skionis stands on those and adds the consent layer Unity Catalog doesn't ship: purpose tags on every column, declarations on every output, and automatic violation detection across column-level lineage.
0402
The Consent Layer Databricks Doesn't Ship
Tag every column with the purposes it's allowed to serve. Declare what each Gold table is actually used for. Skionis watches the column lineage and flags violations before an auditor or a breach finds them.
0203
Policies Enforced on Unity Catalog
Define column masks and row filters once. Skionis applies them live to Unity Catalog. Every query, every team, every BI tool sees the masked data at the source of truth, not in the dashboard. Reversible. Status-tracked.
0304
The Audit Trail, On Demand
Who touched which PII, cardholder, or customer column. Skionis answers it as a query against Unity Catalog's live access audit log. Thirty seconds for the answer that used to take six weeks.
On Unity Catalog
Policies & Audit Trails
Skionis writes directly to Unity Catalog. Native enforcement, native source of truth.
Policies
Column masks and row filters written live to Unity Catalog. Reversible. Status-tracked.
Audit Trails
Synced with Unity Catalog. Queryable on demand.
Extended Beyond Unity Catalog
Purpose & Violation
The consent layer Unity Catalog doesn't ship out of the box.
An Added Layer
Monitors, alerts, and controls your pipelines against the purposes each column was tagged for.
How It Ships
From your first meeting to a governed lakehouse, in three weeks.
Working demo on synthetic fintech data in your first meeting. Customer data under NDA in week one. The governed pipeline and live audit trail in production by week three.
Connect your Databricks workspace
Drop in your workspace URL and credentials. Skionis discovers your Unity Catalog structure, sets up Bronze, Silver, and Gold schemas, and validates connectivity in under five minutes.
Connect your sources
Pick from pre-built connectors for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Salesforce, files, and APIs. Unstructured sources work too: PDFs, scans, and contracts are parsed into typed tables with Databricks AI Functions. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and written to your Databricks secret scope.
Configure ingestion
Select sync mode (Full Refresh or Incremental with a watermark column) and set a cron schedule. Skionis generates the PySpark ingestion notebook, deploys it, and wires the Databricks job. Ten source tables wired in under two hours.
Shape the Silver layer
Map source columns to clean names. Set data types, apply null filters, and configure dedup keys. The transformation notebook is generated with watermark-driven incremental logic on Delta's Change Data Feed.
Define the Gold tables
Drag Silver tables onto the visual JOIN canvas. Select join types, keys, output columns, and aggregations. Skionis generates and deploys the Spark SQL Gold job. The output is registered in Unity Catalog as managed Delta tables.
Apply governance
Define column masks and row filters in the Skionis UI. Apply them to Unity Catalog. Skionis renders the live SQL and executes it against your workspace. Tag each column with the purposes it's allowed to serve. Declare each Gold table's actual purpose.
Run, monitor, audit
Pipelines run on cron schedules or trigger manually. Run History gives status, duration, rows written at each layer, and Databricks job-run links. Audit any access to any table as a live query against Unity Catalog. Gold tables connect to Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Metabase, and Superset.
