Nice writeup! The YAML -> Pulumi -> BigQuery is the same as the example I created for my book, so it's interesting to read about it in production (and again, interesting that similar ideas are created independently around the same time).

You mentioned that you used the medallion architecture, and the data platform team owned the Bronze and Silver layer. Were the data contracts you describe used to present the data to the analytics engineers working in the Gold layer?

Were data contracts also used as the data was ingested from the source systems (events, DB queries, files, CDC)? And if so, how did you encourage adoption there?
