Pitfalls of traditional warehouses
What is a smart lakehouse?
Enterprises are increasingly demanding smart data lakehouse platforms for scalability, flexibility and extensibility for their analytics – addressing limitations in modern data stack and data warehouse technology.
The modern data lakehouse technology combines the best features of cloud-based data lakes and data warehouses to unlock data, enabling and extending real time operational analytics on large, high-value data sets from across the enterprise.
The architecture
- A smart lakehouse understands source systems without the need for complex or convoluted data processing pipelines. It allows a deep dive from high-level metrics down to the lowest level of detail in the transactions in order to diagnose issues or feed into machine learning models.
- It delivers data, analytics and more into cloud-based environments such as Azure Synapse Analytics, Google BigQuery as well as vertical or departmental SaaS solutions such as OneStream or BlackLine.
- With delta sharing, a smart lakehouse can ensure that data is available for an ever-growing range of data processing and analytic workloads, delivered to the right destination at the right time.
