Over the past few weeks, I have joined a three-part Oracle AI Data Platform (AIDP) workshop series. It was a clear walkthrough of how a modern data platform is intended to work end-to-end. Here’s a quick recap of each workshop.

1. Bringing your data together

The first workshop was all about getting data into AIDP. It covered how the platform pulls in data from different systems (databases, cloud apps, files) and organizes it automatically. Instead of manually sorting things, AIDP handles discovery, governance and access for you.

The purpose? Creating one organized place where everyone can trust the data, and where analysts don’t have to waste half their time hunting for the right tables.

2. Cleaning, transforming and making the data useful

The second session took the raw data from the first workshop and detailed how it moves through the “medallion architecture”: bronze -> silver -> gold. Think of it like filtering water:

Bronze = raw

Silver = cleaned up

Gold = ready for dashboards, business users

AIDP handles transformations, validation and even business rules. Workshop instructors presented notebooks, pipelines and lineage tracking—all behind-the-scenes mechanics that turn raw data into something polished and reliable.

3. Automating everything and sharing data

The final workshop tied it all together with automation and data sharing. It focused on how AIDP can run pipelines on a schedule, chain tasks together, pass parameters, use conditional logic, and basically behave like a real production system.

We wrapped up the workshop by showing how these shared datasets plug straight into Oracle Analytics Cloud for dashboards and visualizations, making the end-to-end flow feel truly seamless.

In a nutshell, AIDP is built to take teams from raw ingestion all the way to analytics and AI with less manual work and fewer disconnected tools. It organizes your data, cleans it up, automates it, and lets you share it securely.
