Synopsis

Propose a new scalable data architecture paradigm, Data Lakehouse, that addresses the limitations of current data architecture patterns

Key Features

• Understand how data is ingested, stored, served, governed, and secured for enabling data analytics
• Explore a practical way to implement Data Lakehouse using cloud computing platforms like Azure
• Combine multiple architectural patterns based on an organization's needs and maturity level

Book Description

The Data Lakehouse architecture is a new paradigm that enables large-scale analytics. This book will guide you in developing data architecture in the right way to ensure your organization's success.

The first part of the book discusses the different data architectural patterns used in the past and the need for a new architectural paradigm, as well as the drivers that have caused this change. It covers the principles that govern the target architecture, the components that form the Data Lakehouse architecture, and the rationale and need for those components. The second part deep dives into the different layers of Data Lakehouse. It covers various scenarios and components for data ingestion, storage, data processing, data serving, analytics, governance, and data security. The book's third part focuses on the practical implementation of the Data Lakehouse architecture in a cloud computing platform. It focuses on various ways to combine the Data Lakehouse pattern to realize macro-patterns, such as Data Mesh and Data Hub-Spoke, based on the organization's needs and maturity level. The frameworks introduced will be practical and organizations can readily benefit from their application.

By the end of this book, you'll clearly understand how to implement the Data Lakehouse architecture pattern in a scalable, agile, and cost-effective manner.
