Data Modeling for Mere Mortals — Part 3: All We Need Is a Data Lakehouse?!
Is data lakehouse the concept to rule them all? Do we all need to implement it now? This article will provide you with the answers to all these questions
TL; DR: No, data lakehouse is not all we need! But, it’s an extremely important concept to understand, especially in the modern data landscape…
In the previous parts of the Data Modeling for mere mortals series, we examined traditional approaches to data modeling, with a focus on dimensional modeling and Star schema importance for business intelligence scenarios. Now, it’s time to introduce the concept of the modern data platform.
As usual, let’s take a more tool-agnostic approach and learn about some of the key characteristics of the modern data estate. Please, don’t mind if I use some of the latest buzzwords related to this topic, but I promise to reduce their usage as much as possible.
