In today’s data-driven world, businesses face significant challenges when it comes to managing and harnessing the power of their data. Traditional approaches like Data Warehouse and Data Lake have their limitations, leading to data silos, governance issues, and slow processing times.

Data Warehouse
Data Warehouses were designed for structured data, making it challenging to handle unstructured and semi-structured data effectively.
The Limitations:
- Data silos: Where valuable insights are scattered across different systems, hindering a comprehensive view of the data.
- Data latency: Data warehouses were often slow to process data, as they were designed for batch processing.
Data Lake:
Data Lakes offered a promising solution for storing vast amounts of data, including unstructured data.
The Limitations:
- Data quality: They lacked governance and schema enforcement, leading to data quality concerns.
- Inefficient Insights: The lack of structure and organization made it difficult to derive meaningful insights efficiently.
To resolve this issue we thought to use Data Lakehouse. The Data Lakehouse is a new data architecture that combines the best of data warehouses and data lakes. It allows for the storage of all types of data, structured and unstructured, and provides a unified view of the data. The Data Lakehouse also provides strong governance and data quality features, and it is fast enough to support real-time analytics.
Key Features and Benefits of Data Lakehouse:
The Data Lakehouse offers a number of benefits over traditional data warehouses and data lakes, including:
- Cost savings: It can save businesses money by eliminating the need to maintain multiple data warehouses and data lakes.
- Agility: It is more agile than traditional data warehouses, as it can be used to process both structured and unstructured data.
- Scalability: It is scalable, so it can be easily scaled up or down to meet the needs of the business.
