What is IRiS?
IRiS is Lakehouse Automation Software for data engineers and platform architects. It automates the Silver layer of the Medallion Architecture: IRiS proposes the data model, your engineers confirm it, and IRiS writes the same native code every time for Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake and Databricks. Every decision is recorded for governance and AI. One source table takes under 15 minutes.

The Problem
Why is the Silver layer the hardest part of a Lakehouse?
The Medallion Architecture has three layers. Bronze holds raw data as it lands. Gold holds the reports and AI use cases everyone asks for. The Silver layer is where the real engineering happens: data from multiple systems is integrated, given business keys and history, and governed.
When the Silver layer is hand-built:
Delivery slows
Because every table is modelled and coded by hand, and every engineer does it slightly differently.
Governance breaks
Because inconsistent history and broken lineage start in the Silver layer.
AI gets it confidently wrong
Because three systems mean three definitions of "customer", and an AI agent reasons over all of them.
IRiS proposes. Your engineers decide.
What does IRiS do?
IRiS connects to your source tables in your bronze layer and takes your team through a guided modelling session. IRiS profiles the data and proposes business keys, relationships and properties. It never auto-approves: an engineer confirms each decision.
In one run, IRiS then produces three outputs:
Native Silver layer code
The same every time, committed to your Git repository
A record of every decision
Covering business definitions, owners, PII classifications and lineage: your governance record
Business context for AI
Entities, relationships and properties, exported for your platform's semantic layer
It remembers, and it's repeatable
IRiS keeps every modelling decision and writes the same code from the same model, every time. A general AI tool can draft SQL, but it can't do either.
Rigour without a specialist bench
IRiS modelling patterns are optimised for AI and its code patterns for trustability, your engineers work in business entities and relationships, not notation.
Your code, your process, your data
IRiS writes readable, platform-native code with no runtime dependency, promoted through your existing release process. Modelling runs are metadata-only, so IRiS doesn't move your data.
Start with one use case
No minimum seats, and one IRiS seat covers all three platforms.
Built for AI
What does IRiS mean for our AI plans?
AI agents need structured business context to reason correctly: stable identities, complete history, explicit relationships and lineage. That structure is built in the Silver layer.
IRiS captures that business context as your team models the Silver layer, so it comes from work the team was already doing, with no separate authoring project.
Your platform, your procurement
Where does IRiS run, and how do we buy it?
IRiS runs on Microsoft Fabric first, with native support for Snowflake and Databricks. One IRiS seat covers all three, generated from a single model.

Who is behind IRiS?
IRiS was built by the team behind Ignition Data, drawing on more than 20 years of enterprise data delivery across Australia and New Zealand.
IRiS is standalone software with its own roadmap, supported by partners across Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.
