As the volume and complexity of data continue to grow, organizations seek faster, more efficient, and cost-effective ways to manage and analyze data. In recent years, cloud-based data warehouses have revolutionized data processing with their advanced massively parallel processing (MPP) capabilities and SQL support.

Over the past several years, cloud data lakes like Databricks have gotten so powerful (and popular) that according to Mordor Intelligence , the data lake market is expected to grow from $3.74 Traditionally, data lakes held raw data in its native format and were known for their flexibility, speed, and open source ecosystem.

We’ll cover: What is a data platform? With companies moving their data platforms to the cloud, the emergence of cloud-native solutions ( data warehouse vs data lake or even a data lakehouse ) have taken over the market, offering more accessible and affordable options for storing data relative to many on-premises solutions.

Consensus seeking Whether you think that old-school data warehousing concepts are fading or not, the quest to achieve conformed dimensions and conformed metrics is as relevant as it ever was. The data warehouse needs to reflect the business, and the business should have clarity on how it thinks about analytics.

One of the innovative ways to address this problem is to build a data hub — a platform that unites all your information sources under a single umbrella. This article explains the main concepts of a data hub, its architecture, and how it differs from data warehouses and data lakes. What is Data Hub?

It is a data integration process with which you first extract raw information (in its original formats) from various sources and load it straight into a central repository such as a cloud data warehouse , a data lake , or a data lakehouse where you transform it into suitable formats for further analysis and reporting.

What is Databricks Databricks is an analytics platform with a unified set of tools for data engineering, data management , data science, and machine learning. It combines the best elements of a data warehouse, a centralized repository for structured data, and a data lake used to host large amounts of raw data.

Data collection is a methodical practice aimed at acquiring meaningful information to build a consistent and complete dataset for a specific business purpose — such as decision-making, answering research questions, or strategic planning. Data integration , on the other hand, happens later in the data management flow.

As the demand for big data grows, an increasing number of businesses are turning to cloud data warehouses. The cloud is the only platform to handle today's colossal data volumes because of its flexibility and scalability. Launched in 2014, Snowflake is one of the most popular cloud data solutions on the market.

Big data operations require specialized tools and techniques since a relational database cannot manage such a large amount of data. Big data enables businesses to gain a deeper understanding of their industry and helps them extract valuable information from the unstructured and raw data that is regularly collected.
