Announcing the ERD View in Ilum

Meet ERD View, a brand-new way to model your lakehouse in Ilum. It gives teams a clean, interactive entity-relationship diagram with live operational context, so you can design schemas, reason about joins, and communicate contracts without leaving the platform.
What’s new (based on the example above)
  • Layer-aware modeling (Bronze → Silver → Gold)
    Tables carry clear layer badges, so you can see how models progress across refinement stages.
  • Keys, relations, and cardinality
    Primary/foreign keys are visualized on each table, and connectors display 1:N (and other) relationships right on the canvas.
  • Field-level schema at a glance
    Each table shows columns with data types (e.g., id: long → integer, birth_date: string → date) to make type standardization and evolution obvious.
  • Operational context in-place
    Every node includes freshness and status (e.g., OPERATIONAL, “1 hour ago”), helping you validate that your model reflects what’s actually running.
  • Crystal-clear joins
    Relationship anchors snap to the exact key fields, reducing guesswork when authoring queries.
  • Zoomable, uncluttered canvas
    Smooth pan/zoom and tidy connectors make larger models easy to navigate.
  • One-click Lineage toggle
    Switch to Lineage view to follow the same entities through jobs and runs, design in ERD, verify in Lineage.
