Dremio's Well-Architected Framework

Dremio’s well-architected framework is a resource for anyone who is designing or operating solutions with Dremio Cloud. It provides insight from lessons learned through helping hundreds of customers be successful. The framework is composed of pillars that describe design principles as well as best practices based on those principles.

Key Pillars of Dremio’s Well-Architected Framework​

Dremio’s well-architected framework follows five common pillars from Cloud providers AWS, Microsoft, and Google and a sixth Dremio-specific pillar:

  1. Security
  2. Performance Efficiency
  3. Cost Optimization
  4. Reliability
  5. Operational Excellence
  6. Self-Serve Semantic Layer

Each pillar includes principles, best practices, and how-to articles on the pillar's theme.
